Let the Games Begin!
To my fellow panelist (and audience members) on the Doctor Who News Panel at the Polaris convention last weekend, to whom I said, authoritatively, that the North American release of the Doctor Who Adventure Games wasn’t likely going to happen in July… I clearly didn’t know what I was talking about.
According to Joystiq, who is clearly better informed than I am, it’s out now in North America, although the Mac version seems to have gone missing… You can buy it for download from the Direct2Drive website
While the Brits got it for free, we who don’t contribute to the BBC license fee have to pay for the game. However, I have to say, at $4.95 (and right now it’s on sale for $3.70), it seems like a bargain to me even if I hardly play it because I’m lousy at videogames.
(Thanks to Alex for the tip!)

I emailed Direct2Drive about the Mac version, and they say that they are not releasing it at this time.
Actually, first they denied that there was a Mac version at all, and when I sent them a link to a BBC press release, they said they had no plans to release it.

Thanks to Kari for the information. I could make a comment, but I seem to be considered a second class citizen in some areas for bitching about the fact there’s no Mac version available over here. I mentioned it at a forum that will remain nameless and I got flamed.
All I can ask is - can Graeme or any of the others actually get in touch with the powers that be and find out what happened?

Reading what I wrote last week, above, I think I should specify that I was not flamed at a Doctor Who-specifc forum. Let me be clear on that!
