Doctor Who Video Game Coming

The Whoniverse has very rarely ventured into the world of gaming, but the Doctor looks to be returning this Christmas on Wii and DS in an as-of-yet untitled romp. Although originally reported by British tabloids, the BBC have all but confirmed the existence of a Doctor Who video game for Nintendo consoles, starring Matt Smith as the Doctor. It's rumoured that the Daleks, the Cybermen and old baddies the Silurians (all expected to make appearances in Series 5) will face off against the Doc in some way, but David Tennant expressed his concern in the tabloids at the game, saying that the Doctor "isn't Batman, who smacks people in the heads". As a confessed fan of Who, the idea of a Wii and DS video game interpretation is a great one to me, as long as we don't see the Doc unrealisticly fighting or at the same part taking on a variety of minigames, which is where many Wii and DS efforts seem to head nowadays. However, after the travesty that was Doctor Who: Top Trumps (I still need to play it!), I'm also on guard for a rubbish game! More news as it comes...
