Don't worry, we'll keep this brief. Deep Silver has today announced that it will be publishing a video game based upon the worldwide television hit that is The X Factor.

Taking in every aspect of the show from auditions and boot camp to the live finals, The X Factor game aims to capture the look and feel of the TV show, so expect shrieking fans, warbling contestants and bleating judges, including the world's richest man, Simon Cowell.

"To be able to work with a phenomenal brand such as The X Factor is an incredible opportunity," said Georg Larch, International Marketing Director, Deep Silver. "The X Factor is a truly global brand which is instantly recognisable to thousands of gamers and TV fans around the world. With the developer, Hydravision Entertainment, Deep Silver will be creating a game that is a true adaptation of the show from the hilarity of the auditions to the excitement of the live show; we will be testing the singing skills of the player and will feature the sharp critique of the judges."

The X Factor will be released in multiple languages for each European territory that airs the show, including the UK, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. It'll be released in Q4 2010. That is all. That wasn't actually that brief after all, was it?
