Doctor Who: The Adventure Games

The BBC have announced that four new downloadable Doctor Who games, featuring the Doctor and Amy have been commissioned and will be available later this year.

Doctor Who: The Adventure Games are being developed by Sumo Digital; executive produced by Steven Moffat, Piers Wenger, Beth Willis, along with Anwen Aspden (BBC Wales Interactive) and Charles Cecil - one of videogaming's most revered creators.

Phil Ford (co-writer, The Waters of Mars) and James Moran (The Fires of Pompeii) are penning the scripts for the episodes. Matt Smith (The Doctor) and Karen Gillan (Amy Pond) have provided full voice overs for the project and Murray Gold will be composing the music.

"Children don't just watch Doctor Who - they join in. They make up games, invent their monsters, create their own stories," says Steven Moffat, Head Writer and Executive Producer, Doctor Who. "Now, there's something else - now they can be the Doctor in brand new episodes. Doctor Who: The Adventure Games will offer fans of the Doctor a unique opportunity to enter his world, face his challenges and grapple with his deadliest foes.

The games will be available to download from the official Doctor Who website in June 2010.
