Impulse Gamer - I was really excited about this game and being a huge Doctor Who fan, it seemed that all my Christmas' have come at once. Unfortunately I was knocked for six and flushed down the Dalek toilet to boot. But where did this all go wrong? Ironically, the story of Doctor Who: Return To Earth is actually very well written, thanks to the support from the official BBC scribes and to add another element of realism, Matt Smith and Karen Gillan lend their excellent voices to the game.
We take a look at the history of Doctor Who video games. Geronimo!
This year Doctor Who also celebrates its 50th Anniversary. Across those 50 years it has amassed a wealth of characters, companions, alien races, enemies, locations and timey-wimey concepts. Perfect fodder for a great video game, or so you might think. The truth is that the Time-Lord has never sat comfortably in the world of PC and video games. There have been some notable titles but certainly no classics.
In the first of two articles Thumbsticks takes a look at the history of the Doctor’s adventures in games.
I'll never understand why there hasn't been a triple A budget Doctor Who game by now but with it's own story so it's separate from the TV series.
Think of a game where it starts with an old looking Doctor which resembles the first Doctor, William Hartnell, regenerating into a brand new Doctor and let the games go on from there. New companions, new story, new threats etc with it's own styles, music, settings. It could be fantastic but they are too obsessed over making it like the TV series
AusGamer - Fresh from the family viewing of the 2010 Christmas Special and the Doctor Who Prom, I loaded up Doctor Who: Return to Earth with great anticipation. Sure, I knew it was a casual game - I love casual games! Sure, I knew it was a television-show-tie-in - I also admit to quite enjoying a game of Desperate Housewives and have Grey's Anatomy sitting in my "to play" pile.
