@AstrayPenguin: ... that they're working with the fact it's not 1970 anymore? I didn't like season 3 either, but having a minor recurring gay character hardly constitutes an overreaching theme.

That said, the killer vagina ep on the quasi-adult marketed spinoff was indeed crap.

@108:

Funny, I always thought the 3rd season of Dr. Who was trash (new series 3rd). Except the Blink episode is bored the hell out of me and I only watched it for an American friend who wasn't able to.

Martha was too... inhuman to really matter to me much and until she did the whole Gordon Freeman thing in the last 2 episodes she was just a boring extra rather than an interesting character.

Either way, I think we need better writers than Doctor who has now, as it's far too much of a gay-pride-for-all-athon right now. Hell Torchwood had a vagina that killed you and multiple men making out.. what more evidence do you need!?

@huginn - No I will not give you a hug!: there has been one game I think it was called Destiey of the Doctor. you can see clips of it on youtube.

you know what

bioware should have made this instead of mass effect

i mean, seriously, i know bioware is proud of their writers, though the (spectacularly) lovable hacks penning the current doctor who series can write circles around dry trash like mass effect.

no offense to mass effect!

Oh man. I just changed into these pants. A Doc Who game is long overdue.

Either take a cue from Astro Boy: Omega factor, and have you play as all the Doctors, switching roles as you die, moving up and down the timeline of their lives, trying to solve the mystery...
Or entirely inside the depths of the Tardis, Metroid style.

PS2? Why?

Though I'm sure it'll be based on the new series and not the original one from the 60's (?)

Announcing an announcement?

Yay. I will call this my Yahtzee simulation game.
They're mostly the same anyways.

Of course, that's assuming the game consists of a tall pretentious British guy with an accent walking around with a cool hat and a scarf.

And as far as I can tell, that's what the show's about.

Please let it be good.

PLEASE. For the love of Rassilon.

@huginn: I'd hope that they create an original story for it. Messing with lore just makes rabid fans strike, and the Doctor has as many as anybody.

Why hasn't there ever been a game from the Doctor? I can practically see an old school 8-bit doctor edition in my head now! (it looks kinda like total recall if anyone's wondering)

I'm just wondering how they will handle the game. Retell the whole doctor story from the first incarnation to the newest? Do a gaming respin of what material is there, or start completely fresh.

Either or, I'm hoping the gaming-entertainment media curse doesn't touch this one.

huginn - No I will not give you a hug!

Ew. Eidos. I knew you when you used to be cool.

Maldron

Sadly, I've never seen Dr. Who
