...Heaven (Valusoft; $19.99), a "Christian action game," is to attain enlightenment by playing either a divine or a fallen angel. As a good angel, you wave a sword of the spirit at demons who seem to be wearing little green bikinis. As a fallen angel, you get to stick your claws into those insufferably righteous angels. Guess which one kids are going to pick. So why give the option to be evil? The designers use the free-will argument and note that choosing the fallen angel leads to murder and self-destruction. In the post-Columbine era, that may bear...
Buffy drives home, forlorn, after a particularly wrenching scene with Angel; teardrop face framed in the windshield under a rain-dark sky. It's a lovely television moment, and the addition of Alison Krauss & Union Station's wistful, wispy "It Doesn't Matter" touches it with greatness...

Besides its hulking, gloomy lead and self-absorbed-as-ever foil Cordelia, Angel also borrows Buffy's stylish thrills and its flashes of humor, sharp and surprising as teeth on your neck in a dark alley. Here's hoping it ultimately...
...current, frequent misuse of the terminals causes not only long lines but also creates anger in the hearts of those who only stand and wait. Apart from a spontaneous and collective conversion to new behavior, we may need an on-screen reminder to help us out, a guardian angel, if you will, telling us when we've exceeded our fair share of time and pointing out the line growing behind us. Surely someone in CS50 could write such a program...
