THE BBC has unveiled the first details of its episodic games which form part of the current series of Doctor Who.

City of the Daleks is the first of four new adventures which take the form of downloadable computer games available for PC and Mac.

This first episode will be available for free download from www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho on June 5.

'City of the Daleks' features the new breed of Daleks which premiered on television in last week's 'Victory of the Daleks'.

Judging by the popularity of the cult TV series, this could be a real winner from the BBC.

THERE'S no denying that a vast majority of gamers are crying out for a real Doctor Who game and now the BBC has announced they are set to launch a series of them on the PC and Mac this June.

Doctor Who: The Adventure Games will consist of four two-hour interactive adventures, with players taking control of the digitally recreated Doctor and Amy as they embark on new adventures which coincide with the new TV series.

Great news for us geeks!
