Let Game-Modo's Travis preface this review with some points that to some, may make him unfit to review a Doctor Who game. Travis is not familiar with the series, Travis is not a big fan of puzzles shoehorned into other genres, and Travis does not care for frustratingly difficult games. Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock might be for those into what Travis is against, however, so if the hat fits, take the "time" to read on.
We take a look at the history of Doctor Who video games. Geronimo!
Allan Muir of VGUTV states his reasons for wanting a game based around the television hit Doctor Who.
I would love it if NaughtyDog made one
Although whoever does a proper DW game needs to have their own style, timeline, direction of the show. Something which separates it from the TV series.
I would love it if you started the game just as William Hartnell was regenerating but instead of regenerating into Patrick Troughton they change him into someone else creating a new timeline.
I agree with the article, let Telltale have a go at it. I could never see a proper Doctor Who game being anything but an adventure style game like Sam & Max or The Walking Dead.
I'd love to see an attempt at least, then if it's good that's great and if it's bad we'll know not to worry about it again.
I'd like to play as a companion to the doctor, telltale style but perhaps a bit faster paced. You'd have to stay alive, help solve the mystery, save the day, keep the doctor in check, and of course the running. Lots of running.

Who? What? That is what people will say when they see the game in stores.
I don't think Doctor Who has a big enough market. Or is it me that have missed out on something?
Doctor Who has a massive following, more so in the UK obviously, but since the relaunch in 2005 the fanbase is now global.
Yes, I do believe you have missed something.
Over here in the UK (where TT games are based), Doctor Who has a massive following - one of the most popular franchises out there.
Doctor Who is considered a part of British pop culture, it's got a big enough following.
People just want to be trendy. How about a lego football sports game that is legit
Never going to happen. LEGO doesn't even have the Doctor Who license for Doctor Who building toys, Character Options does.
I would love this to happen. It makes so much sense. LEGO just needs to get the rights and I'll be a day-1 buyer.
I feel like the only one who enjoyed this game haha!
