Despite what you may have heard or seen, Vivendi denied today reports that a Battlestar Galactica MMO was coming to the Xbox 360. Even though EB games listed the game as coming out for the system, the publishing giant said such a thing was incorrect. This is what they told 1UP:
"EBGames has removed the information because it was not accurate. Vivendi Games has not announced a Battlestar Galactica game. We cannot comment any further as it is our policy to not comment on industry rumors."
Does this mean it will never happen? No, of course not. It just means they weren't ready to announce it. Of course, it could just all be a ruse by the Cylons to divert our attention of an impending attack, but I'm going to side on the fact that EB is run by frackin' morons who don't know how to keep their mouths shut.

As for BSG, I totally fell in love with it after the miniseries and into season 1 (particularly finale season 1, BEST EVA!), was feeling like it was the best Sci-Fi TV ever made kind of thing. Into Season 2 the plot line gets lame and out of control. Hopefully season 3 regains its senses.
I also like BSG, but I'm not current with it just yet, trying to catch up.
Heroes is ok. They should just rename it to 'Hiro'.
If you've not seen it definately give it a watch.
As for the topic and game. I'll wait and see a working pirate MMO before I consider whether a BG or SG type one would work. Where the hell is Huxley anyway?
Grace Park is completely hot.
I know where you are coming from (although I still love lots o' cheap low budget Sci-Fi Crap Fests).
Anyway, go rent the movie Serenity. Ignore the series if you want to that it spawned from, but check out the movie. It is PURE Sci-Fi at its greatest. I haven't seen a sci-fi move this good since star wars. Trust me.
Seeing the Galactica jump into the atmosphere of New Caprica and launch her Vipers while in a free fall was one of the most awesome sights I have ever seen in a SF show. Plausible? Maybe not. But so metal!
And Grace Park...I would totally sell out all you pathetic humans for her!!!!
Lets not forget the masterly, make him fat and stubley so everyone knows his losing it. Or maybe the give her a new hair cut so everyone knows she's acting different. How about the I'll do something I can't live with but I won't top myself instead I'll double up on the being an arsehole.
Short of the classic moments like rdaneel72 mentioned its piss poor for dialogue and gets bogged down in political and moral hand wringing lessons for us all to walk away from the episode feeling like we've learn something.
To make it worse I've got zero emotional attachment to any of the characters and couldn't care less if a cylon split them from arse to elbow while humping the president's ear.
I've probably gone too far, perhaps BG is the 'V' for this generation and I'm just not falling for it. Maybe I am expecting Sci-Fi and not happy with getting Desperate Housewives in Space. Power to those who enjoy it! this rant isn't a reflection on you but just my babbling about what annoys me with the show.
And yes I am bitter that Firefly got shitcanned that was one western/space show worth watching.

Best show in the past 5 years of TV.
