It’s now been confirmed by the studio that the long running spin-off to the original Stargate SG1 has been cancelled and will end with it’s fifth and current season concluding in January. There is however light at the end of the tunnel for Stargate fans in general as to complete the to be continued storyline already filmed for the end of the season a direct to dvd movie is to be made.
On an opinion side of things this could be a good thing overall as season three of Atlantis was very average and season four was just appalling. Not by any fault of the actors but in how all the episodes had the same stories as each other. Out of a single standard length season there were three episodes which involved main characters trapped in rooms forced to discuss their feelings.
So far season five has had a number of episodes which feel like they are directly cloned from SG1 episodes. Without saying too much in fear of spoilers 5×02 of Atlantis has a very similar story to an SG1 season 4 episode. You also had that episode of Atlantis about the glowing crystals which had the basic story directly lifted from the SG1 first season episode at least in how it begins. There’s also the final point of the writers default backup for any sci-fi show being used, a baby! The thing that made Angel season 4 unwatchable compared to the rest.
The one person you should feel sorry for is Robert Picardo who just joined the Atlantis cast as the new leader for the base. Considering that it was not long ago that it was announced that he would be there for a long time to come, in the UK Atlantis has just this week finished airing 5×01 so he didn’t even have a chance to command before the show gets cancelled. Robert Picardo is a great actor and his roles in E-Ring and especially Star Trek: Voyager were inspired.

With E3 came many announcements, but among them, one has been circling the internet and game stores with vast excitement: The announcement of the new Batman game, Batman: Arkham Asylum. Rumors that the game will be based on the movie were soon proven to be false as Eidos Interactive and Rocksteady Studios have decided on the dark secrets of the mental institution of Gotham City as the basis of their story line.
The game will start off with our hero Batman delivering the Joker to Gotham’s haunting Arkham Asylum, which is where the game hails its name. The Joker manages to escape and take over the mental institution, awesome gameplay ensues. Although the Joker is the main villain, you will also encounter many others throughout the game, such as Harley Quinn and Killer Croc, just to name a few.
There have been no confirmations yet as to who the voice actors will be, yet. The previous Batman game, Batman: Begins included an all-star cast with almost every actor from the film providing their voice for the character they played. Even so, the previous game failed on the market. Fans are hoping history will not repeat itself. Due to the success of The Dark Knight and the hype following this video game, it is more than likely this game will make up for previous disappointments.

We have had a huge response to our old is GTA the end of PC gaming article and new things have come up. In the newest event the ESRB listed on their ratings website that Grand Theft Auto IV would be receiving an M for Mature rating on the Windows PC in addition to the 360 and PS3 versions already in existence. Having the ESRB leak that a game is to come out on PC is not a surprise at all with several titles over the years all being leaked/announced via ESRB.
Rockstar haven’t issued a denial at time of press although normally they share the same default setting in terms of statements as Microsoft with a “no comment” being the standard even if the rumours are true. If GTA4 does come out on the PC it won’t be unexpected but it would be welcome just as long as a supercomputer is not required to run it at a good enough graphical setting to make things interesting.
