The TV season ramps up again with the return of In Treatment, Rescue Me, and The Tudors on cable. The networks spring up five new shows: Bob Saget returns as a dad Surviving Suburbia, and Amy Poeler seeks some Parks & Recreation. A murder mystery haunts Harper's Island, while it's more cops in NBC's Southland and ABC's The Unusuals.

Neil Young looks to power his way up the charts with his latest release inspired by his newly converted electric car. Other artists gunning for the top are the punk-pop band The Thermals, ex-punk rocker Bob Mould, rapper Lady Sovereign, and the English indie-rock band Doves.

Games based on films haven't been critical darlings, but The Chronicles of Riddick FPS series has bucked this trend. Assault on Dark Athena includes a reinvention of 2004's wildly successful Escape from Butcher Bay in addition to an entirely new chapter. Also in stores is the gangster-themed open-world action game The Godfather II.
