The most depressing part of that report is that there are still 7 episodes of Cavemen left to air.
Just two more Heroes episodes…
well time to get in to gaming people! go get Mass Effect (xbox 360). Its simply the best SCI FI movie/game/FPS/RPG you can get on any console right now, with a rocking soundtrack that needs to be bought and listen to independently.
In my opinion Mass Effect is an interactive movie driven by a RPG engine with added combat & action sequences controlled by the player. Its core is an astonishingly well told story based on excellent plotting and characterization. Better than anything you will see on TV this year for sure.. its MUST BUY!

When I first fired up this game my heart was beating, I was ready for the best game I had ever played. And I tell you it IS! From the second you create your Shep to when you make your first conversation decision, you feel like you are part of the best Sci-Fi game EVER!
The conversation system is the greatest in a game, BARR NONE! The whole time(one of the best moments when I put together a speech for the crew of the Normandy) I really felt like no matter what I was thinking the game could convey it exactly like I wanted.
Now for the combat. It starts out slow and stays that way for a while, but then it gets good. After you get used to all the little quirks, the combat feels natural and smooth. Everything is extremely non-linear. After almost every encounter my mind is filled with possibilities. What if I used throw instead of stasis? What if I thew a grenade instead of ran up and punched?
In short this game is about the best game I have ever played and the minor glitches just don’t feel bigger than the dust mite living in your carpet right now.
I can’t give this game a 10 because no game is perfect and it could be a little longer and the load times can be long at times, but this is as close to perfect as you can get.
If you own an Xbox 360 you owe it to yourself to buy this game. Period.
