In my haste to call an end to the big video game conferences, I totally missed Tokyo Game Show (Sept. 16-19), and while it may not be of such great importance as the Western exhibits, I expect that a few interesting announcements will be made.
We finally saw "Salt" last night, and while we had been wanting to see it, we all walked out pleasantly surprised at how good the movie was. We enjoyed it a great deal. It was suspenseful and had a few good twists, so it was definitely worth seeing. We also watched the first episode of the second season of "Dexter," and while the previous episodes were all based on a book, the series writers are now on their own, and it sort of shows.

Most of the big video game conferences are over — E3, GamesCom, Comic-Con, PAX — so from here on out, we're in end-of-the-year mode. Most companies will start preparing their year-end lineups shortly, so we have quite a few busy months ahead of us.
We watched a few more episodes of
Dexter last night and wrapped up season one. The show revolves around a forensics expert (blood splatter analyst) who is also a serial killer, although he has a code of only killing bad people. It's quite good and just addicting enough to make you want to watch the next episode to find out what trouble Dexter can get himself in — and out of.

Mass Effect is a sci-fi adventure set in a vast universe filled with dangerous alien life forms and mysterious uncharted planets. In ME2, Saren's evil army of Geth soldiers has just been defeated, and humans, who are still struggling to make their mark on the galactic stage, are now faced with an even greater peril. While the X360 version was unaffected, a technical issue has forced Bioware to pull the PC version of the DLC until further notice (
