But enough about Infospace's Manic Medic. I-play's new game ER Rush sees you starting as a doctor, and working your way up the me... Hang on a minute.

Okay, so ER Rush isn't the most original mobile game concept we've ever seen, being seemingly inspired by a game that was itself a cheeky rip-off of Diner Dash, except with white coats instead of waitress outfits.

In this one, you have to treat patients quickly enough to acquire enough skills to get promoted to the next hospital, with a bunch of kerrrazy medical complications in store if you're too slow. That's how real doctors view MRSA, y'know.

The game also features werewolves, dogs and vampires, to spice things up a bit. ER Rush will have to go some to outdo its influences, but it's due out by the Autumn, so click 'Track It!' for an ER-mail when we review it.
