Happy 60th anniversary Doctor Who... shame no one can apparently make a good game based off of it as although I'm not much of a Doctor Who guy myself (my brother used to be massively into it) this beloved sci-fi series that's still going today is just brimming with all sorts of ideas for video-games based off this BBC favourite.

Ideas that for the most part have all gone to waste... and never is it so apparent than with the franchise's first and only Wii outing that not only ranks as one of the worst videogame outings for the Doctor but also one of the worst games ever made with it's laughable "I was clearly made on a cheap budget with no care or passion" graphics, awful gameplay with your typical shit motion controls being a Wii game and all and a camera that can easily be described as utterly hateful.

Even my brother knew this was utter toss right from the start and we never got far, into it (not even the point where the Cybermen and Daleks eventually come into play), that one random robot in the room going "Take cover!" every five minutes will also forever be etched into my brain.

It's really fucking laughable that the BBC once claimed it had "massive potential on the Wii" only for all of that to blow up in their face but hey, I suppose that's what happens when you give your massively popular science fiction series to the developers of such wonderful shovelware like Sabrina the Teenage Witch: A Witch in Time and that one Horrid Henry game that was just a lazy reskin of some Hugo game nobody remembers or gives a shit about.
