So that's who! The BBC has recently announced that it will be the robotic Daleks confronting players in the free first episode of Doctor Who: The Adventure Games, entitled City of the Daleks.

In the first of four downloadable episodes, Doctor Who travels to Kaalann, the Dalek capital city. When the TARDIS (a time machine for the uninitiated) arrives in 1963, "London is in ruins. The Daleks have seized control of time and the only chance of saving Earth lies in a desperate quest to Skaro, the Daleks' home planet - before time catches up with Amy, the last survivor of the human race!"

The first trailer highlights some of the gameplay involved, showing Doctor Who and Amy overcoming physical obstacles and engaging in some stealth maneuvers. Along with the official footage, the BBC also released a promotional video of the "Daleks invading Sheffield", which the children seem to find funny... I mean scary (but mostly funny). The video can be streamed at Adventure Gamers' video channel.

City of the Daleks will be released on June 5th for download free of charge.
