Doctor Who: The Videogame
Videogames based on movie licenses invariably suck. Videogames based on TV show licenses are typically even worse.

I generally try to avoid giving a rating or classification to games, as it’s very subjective and often doesn’t mean anything from person to person. But people have been clamoring for me to do a Top 10 list for 2007, and I’m bowing to the pressure. My list is very subjective, and only pertains to…
