That Wheezing Sound? It’s Just The Doctor Who Games Materializing

If you are a Doctor Who fan who doesn’t live in the UK, you’ve been anxiously awaiting two things: the season finale and the Doctor Who computer games. And unless you’ve got an eye patch, peg leg, and parrot , both of these Who goodies are now available.

The first two chapters of the Doctor Who: The Adventure Games–City of the Daleks and Blood of the Cybermen–can be bought right now! Both episodes will cost $4.95 but you can buy them at a discount for $3.70. Sadly, they are only the Windows now, but maybe with the help of a sonic screwdriver, they could also release a Mac version.

Episode 1 has you dealing with the Daleks–no word if they’re Skittles-coloured ones. The Doctor arrives on Earth in 1963 to find the Daleks have exterminated everyone. He must travel to the Daleks homeworld to fix the timeline and rescue the last survivor–Amy Pond.

Episode 2 brings the Cybermen. A geological survey team has disturbed a dormant army of Cybermen and now the humans are slowly turning into metal themselves.

The games aren’t just running around in the world–you have to collect items that represent Doctor Who characters, solve puzzle, and use stealth to evade enemies.

The system requirements don’t look to onerous, so anyone should be able to partake in the timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbley adventures.
