In an odd bit of news, good old BlindsideDork sent us a tip fromNintencast, wherein they report that they contacted the BBC regarding the prospectiveDoctor Wholicensed game mentioned first on David Tennant’s official site and thenreported by us earlier this week. Evidently, the BBC had this to say:
“We’ve now checked and there isn’t a console game planned. There’s just a little self-contained game/toy thing coming – a bit likeTetris.”
One would expect the news to end there, but — oddly — Nintencast deleted the post a few hours ago, and the original content can only be found viaGoogle cache. Whether the BBC told them to exterminate the newspost or whether they simply thought their info was problematic, I don’t really know.
But Idoknow that if this newsistrue, I’ve got some hella mixed feelings. On the one hand, I loveDoctor Who. On the other hand, I loveDoctor Who. A videogame featuring a time-travelling David Tennant has the potential to be pretty damned incredible (especially if the developers wouldlisten to me), but it’d also betremendouslyeasy to screw up. Personally, I’ll just playAttack of the Graskeover and over, listening to David Tennant’s soothing voice as he lulls me into a state of permanent sci-fi bliss. Then I’ll pray for Colin Teague to get hit by a bus.
