Would you play a Meerkat Manor video game? I certain would–I would love to play as Flower main her massive group of offspring around. I’m certain the fight scenes would be good too. Those meerkats have some pretty sweet moves.

Well, whether you love Meerkat Manor and you love video games, you’re in luck considering Activision (the same citizens who brought you the immensely-popular Guitar Hero 3) has teamed up with Discovery Communications. The two companies are in talks to produce a series of video games based on cable network’s shows.

They decided on Meerkat Manor for the first game (it is Animal Planet’s highest-rated show) and more titles will be released in early 2008. I wonder what other shows they will turn into video games? Discovery Communications has several cable networks so they have a wide array of shows to serve as the basis for a multi-media project (i.e. Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, Travel Channel). I have a few suggestions: Man vs. Wild (or Survivorman whether you like him better), Orangutan Island and Deadliest Catch.
