You've watched the show, you've read the books.

Now you get to BE your heroes (and villains).

Yes, Game Of Thrones is coming to an xbox 360, PS3 or PC near you.

A new RPG out in June features two NEW stories from the Song Of Ice And Fire universe created by fantasy writer George R R Martin.

We're promised spectacular and tactical battles, loads of secondary quests and many of the locations and characters from the books.

That's right, the fate of the Seven Kingdoms and the Iron Throne will be in your hands.

Coming up Sunday, two of our favourite shows in a Sky 1 mash-up.

NCIS: Los Angeles federal agents Callen and Sam join forces with the Five-0 to track down a suspect threatening to release a deadly virus in a two-parter showing back to back.

But Chris O'Donnell and Scott Caan have admitted that the crossover felt "strange" to film.

The double-header starts with NCIS characters Callen (O'Donnell) and Sam (LL Cool J) heading to Hawaii to stop a bioterrorism attack.

Hawaii Five-O action men Danny (Caan) and Chin Ho (Daniel Dae Kim) then work with the team in LA over the following episode.

"Daniel and Scott fit right in here," O'Donnell told TV Guide. "But it was funny for me seeing unfamiliar faces in our room.

"And for us, it was strange to go to Hawaii and be playing the same characters, but the crew was completely different. It's kind of Bizarro world."

Caan, meanwhile, says that he was initially uncertain about how the NCIS writers would cope with his character.

"There are parts of doing this that are weird," he confessed. "There are writers on our show who have written 40-something episodes, so they know my thing or Daniel's thing.

"And then we' told the NCIS: LA writers: 'Here, you give it a shot'.

"You can be sceptical about that. But I think it worked out really well.

"And when you're working with the same people over and over again, it is fun to work with new people - and having them be LL Cool J and Chris just makes it better."

Good news is that both shows have been renewed for another season.

The crossover action starts at 9pm on Sunday with Hawaii Five-0 then continues at 10pm with NCIS: Los Angeles. Click next page to see the US trailer.

Universal Studios have announced on their Facebook page that the legendary Jaws ride is to close.

I for one am GUTTED! I was only on it three months ago and it was as great as I remember. A sad day, here's the statement:

Hey fans, we want you to be the first to know... JAWS! and the Amity area will o

fficially close on January 2 to make room for an exciting, NEW, experience we're planning for you.

We know you love JAWS! and we do too. It has been an amazing attraction and after terrorizing the waters of Amity here at Universal Orlando for 20 years, it's a VERY important part of our history. So, we've got a couple things planned to ensure we always remember and honor it. We know it's hard to say goodbye, but we can't express how EXCITED we are about the new, innovative & amazing experience we're going to be bringing you.

One of the quirkiest things I have seen in ages. Really loved this.

Sit back and enjoy!

With Steven Spielberg and the director of Paranormal Activity on board this definitely has potential.

Looks a little bit Lost in places, and to me looks like it would be betteras a film than a series?

See what you think...
