"My love for Doctor Who blossomed with the arrival of David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, the height of my obsession being when I was around ten years old. I collected the magazines, plastered my bedroom wall in posters and …"

"A connection between narrative, setting, and gameplay is required to have even a halfway decent video game. The Edge of Reality fails to be engaging on any mechanical level. And if the Doctor Who franchise aims to deliver more video …"

"Doctor Who doesn’t work without those three things - it’s a fairly bog-standard sci-fi show at the end of the day, but it’s mine and many’s favourites because of the Doctor. The Doctor is the show’s edge, a lovable idiot …"
