Or specifically, that 72% played a game. Played a game? Well now, that means 72% of people are just so lucky, aren't they? No, really, we know that it's anyone who's had an internet connection has played an internet game, whether they know it or not. Then again, if 72% know it, that means over 200 million Americans admit to having played some videogame in one way or another. | |

| Doctor Who game confirmed | |
| Posted: 04.03.2008 12:04 by | Comments: 0 |
Just confirmed by Videogame247 was a Doctor Who game, coming from Eidos. Eidos spokespeople say that it'll be out for PC, PS2 and DS, meaning it isn't meant to be the biggest best new game in town.

Just remember that the PS2 and DS are the current reigning champions of consoles, and seeing the game not hitting the PSP as well means that Eidos is really playing it safe with this one. Chances are the game isn't going to be a miracle disc/cartridge, making women scream at the sight of it. But hey, yesterday they said a Dexter game was in the works. Maybe there'll be good Doctor Who extras. Who knows, pun intended. | |
