Laguna Beach video game coming soon!

We know, we know, this is exactly the kind of good and important news you like to hear on a Monday at Joystiq. Based on There, Virtual Laguna Beach will be an online world where you don't just watch the hit MTV reality soap Laguna Beach, you "live it!"

Currently conducting Alpha testing, VLB (as all the cool kids call it) will allow you to do the following gnarly things:

• Create a character, chat with others

• Attend parties at your favorite Laguna Beach hot spots

• Watch all your favorite Laguna Beach episodes and listen to music

• Explore a world full of hidden surprises

• Play games and have fun!

Like, oh my God, we can't wait to play this. Think of all the fun we'll have spending our time out on the virtual beach creating virtual drama with our virtual fake, bitter friends. We're soooo gonna play the Kristen role, y'all.
