Doctorin' the TARDIS.

Piloting the TARDIS in VR? That looks cool. There's a lot of sparks and things that will need to be repaired because of course there are, the TARDIS is the Microsoft Windows of time machines and constantly needs to be fixed. Daleks? Yep, cool, sold on those big pepperpot weirdos as enemies. Weeping Angels? No, I'm out, thank you, keep it away.

The Edge of Time (opens in new tab) is a VR adventure game being developed by Maze Theory and it features Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor. After being pushed back from its initial release window of September "in order to do Doctor Who justice" they've announced it'll be out on November 12 (opens in new tab) on Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

But much as I would like to reverse some polarities and solve everything with a sonic screwdriver in a Doctor Who game, since it features those damn terrifying angel statues I will be over here in the corner not playing it.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games (opens in new tab). He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun (opens in new tab), The Big Issue, GamesRadar (opens in new tab), Zam (opens in new tab), Glixel (opens in new tab), Five Out of Ten Magazine (opens in new tab), and Playboy.com (opens in new tab), whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
