Ubisoft has had success over the years bringing hit TV shows like "CSI", "CSI: Miami" and "CSI: New York" to PC and console gamers worldwide.

Now the company is adding to the gameplay experience with new Facebook games based on those hit television properties and more.



Ubisoft is developing a full suite of social online games based on "NCIS", "NCIS: Los Angeles" and "House, M.D." for the growing number Facebook consumers.

Developed by Ubisoft Shanghai, Method and Ubisoft San Francisco, "CSI: Miami", "House, M.D.: Critical Cases" and "NCIS: Major Crimes" will be the first Facebook games released.

Facebook games based on "NCIS: Los Angeles" and "CSI: New York" will follow later in 2012.








"Our license-based Facebook titles have performed well this year, including The Smurfs & Co. and CSI: Crime City," said Chris Early, vice president of digital publishing at Ubisoft.

"With CSI: Miami, House, M.D.: Critical Cases and NCIS: Major Crimes, we’re giving more fans new ways of being a part of and sharing in their favorite fictional worlds."





House, MD: Critical Cases will be the first Facebook game out of the gate with a fall release this year.

The game will allow players to join cartoon versions of "House" cast members like Hugh Laurie, Omar Epps, and Olivia Wilde to diagnose medical cases at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
