Everyone's Hero
A young boy finds himself at an extraordinary crossroads: He has a chance to be a hero, and make a difference against incredible odds, or he can play it safe. With faith in himself instilled by his family, he teams up with a sassy young girl and some off the wall sidekicks and embarks on a sometimes perilous, often funny, cross-country quest. In the process, he restores his family's honor, befriends the world's biggest sports superstar, and reveals the hero within.
 

Play It
Dead Rising

Capcom knows horror fans love a good game full of gore, action, and maybe a little campy humor, and they provide all three in the Xbox 360’s Dead Rising, a quirky horror game that includes some very unique features and, of course, tons of zombies. When a small town becomes quarantined for no apparent reason, photojournalist Frank West sets out to get the scoop. That’s when he sees the zombies, thousands of them that have laid siege to the town. Frank tells his crew to return in three days, where Frank will either be waiting with the story of a lifetime or won’t be returning at all. Dead Rising isn't game of the year, but it is a whole lot of mindless fun.

Reality show supergroup Supernova have a new singer, but it looks like they also need a new name. In the series finale, Canadian Lukas Rossi was named as front-man of the all-star band.
