The BBC Planning Top Gear, Doctor Who Games
by Alice O'Connor, Jan 22, 2010 6:44am PSTThe British Broadcasting Corporation intends to make video games of "key brands," MCV reports, including the tip-top sci-fi series Doctor Who and bloketastic Top Gear.
Children's properties such as the unsettling In the Night Garden are likely targets for Wii and DS releases while MCV says "more long-running brands" could head to "all sorts of platforms." Social networking sites and the iPhone are also potential platforms.
Doctor Who and the prat's prat--Jeremy Clarkson off Top Gear."We are open to conversations with anybody in games about all kinds of business models to see how we can extract more value," said managing director for Children's Neil Ross Russell. However, he declares "What we're trying to do is build the brands here--this is not about opportunistic licensing."
The publicly-owned broadcaster's commercial tentacle BBC Worldwide is in charge of the endeavour, with former the former VP of EA's Social Games Group Robert Nashak today named executive vice president of Digital Entertainment.

Not sure about Top Gear though, given that their test track will be included in Gran Turismo 5.

The game started with the Tartus appearing in the bathroom of my friends school. I don't remember much else, but I was amazed he had coded all that on his own.

Some car related games that I think might work would be an open world race challenge where the player is Jeremy and racing against Hammond and May in a plane/boat/airship/tractor/bicycle/someothersuchthing. However, as I game I don't think that would work out... Let's race from London to Berlin in a time that an average gamer would want to finish that race in. Another thing that might work would a a Gary's Mod type thing where you can modify a car and race it or do challenges in it to win.
Either that or they have to make the modern day version of ReVolt and just put the Top Gear name on it and the fun game-play makes it worthy of the Top Gear name.
