SGC dials a planet with a blackhole near it. The wormhole won't shut down and Earth starts to feel the time dilation and gravity effects from the black hole through the Stargate. Another great episode.

If a video game isn't "abandoned at launch" then I'll happily wait until it does get "abandoned".

Or, to use a more accurate term: "finished".

Tales of Symphonia

A wonderful RPG with a lovely visual style, great combat and an engrossing story. It even has some Zelda-style dungeons, just with a bit too much backtracking. Great all round.
