The wait is nearly over, as the brand new Doctor Who game, The Eternity Clock, officially launches tomorrow!
It will be available to download globablly on PSN, followed by a limited retail release in the UK from this Friday (25th May). It will make its way to PS Vita on 13th June.
To get us ready for the adventure, the creators of the game have been teasing us with developer diaries. The first was an intro, while the second was all about the monsters.
In the third and final instalment, released today, we are given an insight into how they used Matt Smith in order to create the authenticity of the TV series. Check it out below…
Are you all set for The Eternity Clock? Let us know your excitement in the comments!
We’re now just less than one week away from the worldwide release of The Eternity Clock, so it is about time we learnt more about the monsters we’ll be up against in the game!
Luckily, we can do exactly that courtesy of the BBC’s second exclusive ‘developer diary’ video. In yesterday’s intro, we were introduced to the creators of the game, but today we go from the good to the very bad, as we meet a selection of the Doctor’s most dangerous of adversaries, all of which will be popping up throughout the game. Gulp…
In The Eternity Clock, fans can play as the Doctor and River Song, who race to save the universe, and time itself, by unravelling the mystery of The Eternity Clock. Only then can they stop its deadly path of destruction before it’s too late. Outwit and destroy aliens, solve puzzles, and accompany a friend on a collaborative multiplayer adventure.
The game officially launches on PSN for PS3 on 23rd May, and for PS Vita on 13th June. If you want a copy for your shelf, it is scheduled a retail release in the UK on 25th May.

6 Classic Series novels have been republished this month, each featuring a new specially written introduction.
In The Tenth Planet (by Gerry Davis, introduced by Tom MacRae), the TARDIS brings the Doctor and his friends to a space tracking base in the Antarctic, and the world is in the grip of a second Ice Age in The Ice Warriors (written by Brian Hayles, introduced by Mark Gatiss). Elsewhere, UNIT is called in when a diplomat is attacked in The Day of the Daleks (by Terrance Dicks, introduced by Gary Russell).
Meanwhile, a mysterious black hole is draining power from the Universe in The Three Doctors (by Terrance Dicks and introduced by Alastair Reynolds), and the current series showrunner Steven Moffat sets us up for Ian Marter’s novelisation of The Ark in Space, in which the survivors of a future Earth lie in suspended animation. In The Loch Ness Monster (Terrance Dicks/intro by Michael Moorcock), a spaceship is in Loch Ness.
Captain Jack Harkness and Sgt Andy Davidson will be joining forces in a Torchwood audiobook out next month.
In Mr Invincible by Mark Morris, we meet Ross Chapman, one of life’s losers, who becomes a crime-busting vigilante in a superhero costume after surviving a shooting.
Something strange is going on, but Ross’ transformation isn’t the only odd thing happening in Cardiff, as the whole of time itself is distorting.
All around the city, people are aging, dying and decomposing in a matter of minutes, while others are reverting back to childhood. Sgt Andy Davidson knows he’s out of his depth, so when Jack Harkness sweeps into the police station, he’s glad of the help that only Torchwood can provide. It’s worse for Jack, the stakes are higher than ever before.
He has seen a vision of Gwen, dead, murdered, by an unknown gunman, and his only hope of saving his best friend lies in him solving the ongoing mystery of Mr Invincible…
Mr Invincible’s read by Tom Price and is due out on 7th June 2012. Pre-order it today!

Matt Smith and Karen Gillan recently came face to face with themselves (albeit much smaller versions…), when they paid a visit to Big Chief Studios!
The Doctor Who stars were presented with the limited edition collectors figures of the Doctor and Amy Pond, which have been officially licensed by BBC Worldwide. The 1:6 scale figures include authentic character portraits and beautifully hand-tailored iconic costumes, and both come complete with signature character accessories.
“Huge thanks to both Matt and Karen for finding time in their busy schedule to fit us in. We have had the privilege of meeting them both separately previously, but together their chemistry is electrifying. Saying goodbye to the Ponds will be an eye-wateringly sad experience.” – The Big Chief Team
