Over at a gaming conference in the UK, BBC Worldwide fuelled the fires of sci-fi fandom with the announcement of a Torchwood game for iPhone, entitled Torchwood: Miracle Day.

For those unaware, the new series of the Doctor Who spin-off will be broadcast in the US on the 8th July, with the Brits having to wait six days longer to catch it.

And by happy coincidence, the iPhone adaptation of Torchwood: Miracle Day will launch at approximately the same time as the first episode airs.

Gameplay details are hush-hush, though we do know that the story will revolve around the Miracle Day conceit of the programme. On the Miracle Day, no one on Earth can die - if you were wondering.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this to see if BBC Worldwide can improve on their iOS Doctor Who offering, The Mazes of Time, which we awarded 3 out of 5.

After the game goes on sale in the App Store, it will be updated weekly with new content (bit like the show, really).
