'Shadows of the Vashta Nerada Clips

Hello. With Christmas only three days away, it is time to get very excited. Not only is it the festive season, but we get to see the Doctor Who Christmas Special, 'A Christmas Carol'. But there's more. We also are given 'Shadows of the Vahsta Nerada' as a gift from the BBC on Christmas Day, where we play as the Doctor and Amy to defeat the evil Vashta Nerada. The game also includes a sea base and an alien shark, of course. On the official Doctor Who website, Matt Smith has an interview. He explains what happens in the game and what he likes about it. It also includes some very interesting clips of the game in action, which all seem very exciting. A link is below:

The game so far seems very exhilirating. Only three more days until we can download it!

Shadows of the Vashta Nerada Screens

Hello. Recently, the next Adventure Game, 'Shadows of the Vashta Nerada' was announced to be released on Christmas Day. We now have the first screens of the game and they look very interesting. The game is set completely underwater and so the outfits that the skeltons are wearing are diving suits. In case you missed it, here is the synopsis for the downloadable game:

Kicking off immediately after the cliff-hanger ending of episode three, the latest Adventure Game picks up the story of the Doctor and Amy who've materialised just south of London (and about a 1000 miles to the left), inside a sea-bed colony called Poseidon. Shadows of the Vashta Nerada features a cracking plot which surrounds a real-world conspiracy and, of course, it takes place at Christmas.

The screens for the last Adventure Game are below:




'Shadows of the Vashta Nerada' has very high expectations after the disappointment of 'TARDIS', the third Adventure Game.


 As it features the credited Vashta Nerada, I would say that there is nothing to worry about and we should all expect an intriguing, exciting, exhilirating final to the pixelated, downloadable games. The Doctor last encountered the Vashta Nerada back in 2008 in the episodes 'Silence in the Library' and 'Forest of the Dead' in which we first met River Song. The Vashta Nerada are a classic alien created by Steven Moffat. There is nothing you can do to stop it, you just have to run.


The final Adventure Game seems to be the most thrilling one yet. City of the Daleks was very good and I enjoyed the plot line and the game. I would say the same to Blood of the Cybermen. We will have to wait for another nine days before we can download it and fight the Vashta Nerada on Earth. Just remember to steer clear of the Shadows...

Stay Out of the Shadows...

Hello. I'm sure you have all heard of the Doctor Who Adventure Games. They are downloadable games that you can download to become the Doctor and Amy in pixelated form. The Adventure Games so far have included:

A Dalek invasion and a trip to Skaro - City of the Daleks


Cybermen, Cyberslaves and an evil plot in the Antarctic - Blood of the Cybermen


The Doctor and Amy are seperated with an evil entity roaming free looking for fresh food - TARDIS


The new Adventure Game is their biggest adventure yet. The Adventure Game is entitled 'Shadows of the Vashta Nerada'. It features the classic scary monster the Vashta Nerada, last seen in Series 4 in the episodes 'Silence in the Library' and 'Forest of the Dead' written by Steven Moffat.

 The Adventure Game is written by Phil Ford who also wrote 'The Waters of Mars' and an episode of 'Torchwood'.
'Shadows of the Vashta Nerada' starts immediately after the cliff-hanger ending of episode three, TARDIS. 'Shadows of the Vashta Nerada' sees The Doctor and Amy materialise just south of London (and about a 1000 miles to the left) inside an aquatic sea-bed colony called Poseidon. The game features a breath-taking plot which surrounds a real-world conspiracy – and, of course, takes place at Christmas.
The newest Adventure Game is released on Christmas, so as well as the Doctor Who Christmas Special, we get to become the Doctor and Amy on the same day.
Steven Moffat, the head writer and executive producer of Doctor Who, said:
“We’ve gone all-out for the season finale. 'Shadows of the Vashta Nerada' takes place entirely underwater – something which would be impossible for the TV series, as water is so expensive. It’s thrilling, terrifying, educational and fun. Just steer clear of those shadows…”
We will all have high expectations of this game as the DS and Wii games that have recently been released have not been such a big hit. Unfortunately, we will have to wait until Christmas to play the game to find out if it scares us out of the shadows or if we just lie in the shade, bored. Only 17 more days to go! One more thing - stay out of the Shadows...
