I can't edit this because the article is protected -- there's an outdated reference to an "unofficial announcement" of the release date for the second game. Obviously the announcement is official now following the press conference of a few days ago. Also, how about adding a section explaining (with sources) the reasoning behind why the games are free in the UK but not elsewhere? If you go around the boards and blogs there is a lot of people who don't understand why this has happened. There's also been some media criticism of the BBC funding the games, too. Granted, the whole "UK pays the license fee; everyone else doesn't" argument applies to many other geo-restricted online content such as Captain Jack's Monster Files, Attack of the Graske, etc. but these games are certainly the most prominent example of UK-restricted content to date. (Probably the only thing that might exceed it would be if the BBC, heaven forbid, were to produce a Doctor Who episode available to UK audiences only.)

For those able to edit the article the first two games have now been made available for sale (for a small fee) internationally. See [http://www.joystiq.com/2010/07/22/forgive-the-tardis-ness-doctor-who-games-arrive-today-in-the-us/]. Of course leave it to the BBC or whomever is in charge to screw it up -- the Mac version has not been made available.
