Summer may not be officially over, but as preseason football rolls in, many of our warm-weather TV shows are heading out. While we wait for the next Grand Theft Auto epic, Saints Row IV arrives on consoles ready to spoof gaming culture in the way that only this series can, along with Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Divekick. Finally, Thursday night keep an eye out for a re-air of Sharknado on Syfy, followed by the next shark movie it could crank out quickly -- Ghost Shark (trailer after the break). Look after the break for our weekly listing of what to look out for in TV, Blu-ray and videogames.
