Doctor Who games in development for Wii and DS photo

A pair of new Doctor Who games have been announced. Evacuation Earth for Nintendo DS and Return to Earth for Nintendo Wii are reported to be in development by Asylum Entertainment. The games will land in the UK and Australia, but I highly doubt that they'll come round to America.

And that's probably fine. I hadn't heard of Asylum Entertainment and what I've found of them isn't particularly promising. This sounds like shovelware aimed at kids, which is a shame for a property which is ripe with possibilities for games and has been showing a much more mature side of late.

Look Brigadier! It’s a Doctor Who game [iTWire]

I still want Tennant back. Smith is decent, but just doesn't feel right.

Effin' LOVE Smith as The Doctor. Seriously. He's got a mad energy about him, and a slight superior edge in his mentality. I loved Tennant, but come on, his era was becoming practically unwatchable. His finale was so bad I wanted to throw up and just get his regeneration over and done with. I hope Smith is around for a long time.

While the last series wasn't the best in my opinion, it still had some great writing and characters, which Smith made even better.

"This sounds like shovelware aimed at kids"
Isn't that the point of the series?

Awwww...no tip credit. I should have sent the news in a few days ago, but I figured the site wasn't going to report it.

They'll probably be crappy, but excited anyway!

I agree with Untidydubs. I don't get the massive love for Tennant, he's a brilliant actor but doesn't really fit Doctor Who, and he was unfortunate enough to have RTD round as a head writer.
