"This week players of the ridiculously reasonable free-to-play mobile puzzler Doctor Who Legacy will get a Christmastime preview of the pixelated stylings of Nathan Skreslet, whose PixelWho art will play a big part in an upcoming in-game adventure. And Who better to usher in this charming 8-bit look than the charming Eight Doctor?
Despite never having appeared in the Doctor Who television series — just the 1996 TV movie, some audio plays and a recent live-action short — or perhaps because of this, the Eight Doctor holds a special place in the hearts of fans. And so it's heartening to see Paul McGann be the first to undergo an 8-bit metamorphosis in today's special Advent Calendar promotion level, appropriately titled "The Eighth Doctor is Awesome."
The first pixelated level for Doctor Who Legacy released yesterday, giving players a chance to unlock pixel costumes for Tenth Doctor companion Martha Jones and the Cthulhu-groupie Ood. Today's episode concludes with a pair of 8-bit outfits for Doctor Eight. "
Read the rest over at Kotaku and be sure to grab the code that unlocks 3 more 8-bit costumes for Martha!
