BBC Wants To Get Into Games

[Law]

The Charlie Brooker game, starring Charlie Brooker. Coming to a PS3 near you.

Call Fiddy Cent a wanker using the Microphone! Make rude gestures to people over the internet using the Eye! Be a complete and total dick to everybody you ever see on PSN!

I want another Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy point and click game! (Not the crappy film, the original 80's tv show).

What about a Fawlty Towers game also

you pick up the phone, you insult someone, Mrs Fawlty tells you off. You go and slap manuel upside the head.

No BBC, no.
We pay you money through TV licenses to provide us TV, and we've allowed you to branch out into Radio and Internet because they too are methods of broadcasting.

Video games are not broadcasting.

Actually this is BBC Worldwide, a for profit commercial venture, associated, but not funded by the BBC
You only fund BBC Worldwide if you buy their stuff

I can see Eastenders going onto the Wii.. Oh god.NO dont give them horrid ideas like that.

Well there is a Coronation Street game coming out and in 2007 Eidos actually bought the rights to do a Eastenders game but we never saw it. It was meant to be like The Sims.

Young Ones Video Game.

That basically.

They've already done magazines, music, DVD and films for years now so why not games as well? Anyway they're not making games themselves, just looking into which publishers and developers would be best for them.

I'd be quite happy for a version of the in-universe guide to be put on DS, with all the graphics being based on the hand-drawn ones

Use Wii Speak to shout and insult!

They is a Ds Corination Street game Coming out this year and no I aint kidding.

They have been a few Dr who games games they is already one on Ds/ Ps2 and Wii but its a Top Trumps game and sucks and had less content than the other 2 Top Trump games by the same company they added more stuff to the Wii version I think though.

No!

(The grog emote is so strong/drunk he isn't affected by having a GBA thrown at him)

I don't even watch EastEnders, making games out of soaps like that had better include a free shovel and dirt mound.

rather than mimicing how other games are, they should do a unique/professional game for the DS/Wii cuz its a new company (making it more attracted to less picky gamers)
