Next Dr Who game to leave Xboxers in the cold

PS3 fans are Eternity Clock-a-hoop

The BBC is to release a new Doctor Who game next year, but if you're an Xbox owner you won't be able to enjoy it.

Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock will be released for the PlayStation 3, Sony's PS Vita handheld and PCs.

The Corporation promises the game will feature "photo-real graphics, television quality scenes and highly realistic characters", among them the Doc and River Song, both to be voiced by Matt Smith and Alex Kingston, respectively.

Big promises were made for the Beeb's last Doctor Who game, the Wii-oriented Doctor Who: Return to Earth. It proved to be rather poor fare.

Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock is being developed by Guildford-based Supermassive Games known for PlayStation Move titles Start the Party! and Tumble.

Here's the DW:EC trailer:

...if it is, then it'll be brilliant

since the show is far from the mess it was under RTD aqnd is actually highly enjoyable and coherent!

Go back to your box sets of Dobbie Doctor, Jesus Doctor and Emo doctor with the farting aliens and cuddly fat aliens fighting giant mecha-cybermen!

"come on BBC I thought you were supposed to be platform agnostic!"

This is a product licensed by BBC Worldwide, not a BBC product.
