For those that don't know, 4 supplimental Doctor Who episodes, in the form of free downloadable computer games will be available from the BBC website, with the first one coming out June 5th.

Am i the only one that thinks that these games are more than just a little experiment for the Doctor Who team? I get the feeling that if they are successful enough critically and with fans, they will try their hand at longer retail games.

That's just the feeling I get. Anyway, after seeing the April 24th episode of Doctor Who Confidential, these don't look like half-assed games either. They look like they're actually something to look forward to. Part of me wishes they would have had them as Wiiware or something, I'd pay a bit of money for a more full game experience i could play on my TV, but still, im excited

I'm looking forward to these as well, not much longer now.

It's a shame they're not on WiiWare but if they're successful, it's possible we could see them released on WiiWare, or (Hopefully) if all goes well, future DW games. Plus, it's not like Sumo Digital are strangers to the console. I do think you're right though on the part about these being experimental, particularly as they're being released for free. Just have to see how it goes from here now

@shingi_70 I think you are sorely missing out. I do miss some of the earlier characters, but storywise this season have some of the best written episodes. The Weeping Angels two-parter (In the Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone, Episodes 4 & 5) in particular is probably, in my honest opinion, one of the best stories of the whole series. Many viewers have said this, as well as critics on various websites. I got chills.

But yeah, its a strong enough series as a whole, and the anthology-type format of the show allows for there to be many different approaches in story, as well as deviations in plot that give room for things like spin-off novels and video games.

As for Torchwood...one they started killing off pretty much the entire main cast, i kinda...stopped watching...sorry
