Forum:Attack of the Graske: tv or video game
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
Following the recent wave of story re-titling/disambiguation, we're left with the occasional oddity. One is Attack of the Graske. As OttselSpy25 has pointed out on my user talk page, I've made the image category Category:Attack of the Graske video game images. This was an intentional, almost manual, move on my part. I think of it as a videogame.
But when the bot went to change the title of the page itself, it made it Attack of the Graske (TV story), because it's apparently sat, undisturbed for years, in a TV story category.
So the question is, is it a TV story or a video game? A poll shall be used in this case, simply because this is such an arbitrary thing, but discussion is of course welcome below the poll.

I think of it as "TV" because it's the red button a la Dreamland. I'm the wrong generation to remember full motion video, so when I picture video games, what springs to mind are 2D sprites and CG models. Short answer though, I suppose I consider it as an "interactive episode", so technically both.
For simplicity's sake, though, it's a video game. After all, it's listed on the "Fun and games" section of the Doctor Who website under Featured Games. -- Tybort (talk page) 21:53, March 7, 2012 (UTC)
I think it's best to focus on the reason for the thing's existence; it was made primarily as a game, with the TV just being an incidental fact of its delivery medium (and that's just for those who played it on TV rather than on its web release.) Graske is a game; the fact that the game's delivery system was a digital enhancement to TV notwithstanding. Top Trumps: Doctor Who and Doctor Who and the Mines of Terror were played, respectively, on a console and an old computer which also happened to display on the player's TV, but they were still just games. — Rob T Firefly - Δ∇ - 18:55, March 17, 2012 (UTC)
