Merlin started on Saturday on BBC 1. The latest attempt to fill in the void of Doctor Who on a Saturday night. Of more interest to Sci Fi fans than Robin Hood, Merlin came across like an Harry Potter extreme. High production values, a good cast and favourable reviews will make this a Saturday night must see.
After Merlin, it was probabaly back to playing apprentice StarKiller in 'Star Wars:The Force Unleashed' for a lot people, as the country of gamers progressed through this newly released cinematic gaming experience. It's a great addition to the Star Wars franchise. Amazing graphics and some brilliant gameplay scenes make this a must have for Star Fans and an interesting but not groundbreaking game for hardcore gamers. Check this video review from Gamespot's Kevin VanOrd.
Its an exciting time for gamers as the slew of games get released for the christmas market; among the highlights, new upgrades on the Gears of War, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and World of Warcraft franchises.
The good news for gamers doesn't stop there as the third annual London Games Festival will run from October 24 to 29 this year. The Festival will also feature Video Games Live concert performances and the London Movie Comic Media (MCM) Expo. Find out more here
