Given the level of detail in the recent ''Adventure Games'' I'm going to step back from including them as a secondary source, as their info is fairly detailed at times and there are several articles using a video game as their only source, mostly character articles, and some like [[Kaalann]]. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 16:07, August 21, 2010 (UTC) | Given the level of detail in the recent ''Adventure Games'' I'm going to step back from including them as a secondary source, as their info is fairly detailed at times and there are several articles using a video game as their only source, mostly character articles, and some like [[Kaalann]]. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 16:07, August 21, 2010 (UTC) | ||
:A good measuring stick for games-as-canon might be the involvement of the BBC and the ''Doctor Who'' production team. | :A good measuring stick for games-as-canon might be the involvement of the BBC and the ''Doctor Who'' production team. | ||
:Like FASA's output, things like ''[[Dalek Attack]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who and the Mines of Terror]]'' were created entirely by outside companies who merely secured the BBC licence and did their own thing with it; their work fits into the category of ''Doctor Who'' merchandise, but is no more relevant to canon than Dalek bubble bath. | |||
:On the other hand, ''[[Doctor Who: The Adventure Games]]'' were produced with the involvement of [[BBC Wales Interactive]] and executive-produced by [[Steven Moffat]], [[Beth Willis]], and [[Piers Wenger]], and star [[Matt Smith]] and company. ''[[Attack of the Graske]]'' was made by [[BBC Wales]], and starred [[David Tennant]]. While there wasn't a ''Doctor Who'' production team at the time, ''[[Doctor Who: Destiny of the Doctors]]'' was co-developed and published by [[BBC Multimedia]], and starred [[Anthony Ainley]] and a handful of Doctors. These were all created with an eye toward fitting into the [[Doctor Who universe]] - or at least not screwing with it ''too'' badly - by those in control of the DWU. This might be a simple way for us to divide the canon-capable games from the others. — [[User:Rob T Firefly|Rob T Firefly]] - '''[[User talk:Rob T Firefly|Δ]][[Special:Contributions/Rob T Firefly|∇]]''' - 04:24, October 18, 2011 (UTC) | |||
