An accountant (McGregor) is introduced to a mysterious sex club known as The List by his lawyer friend (Jackman). But in this new world, he soon becomes the prime suspect in a woman’s disappearance and a multi-million dollar heist.

The story of Jason and the golden fleece is the basis of Rise of the Argonauts, the upcoming action RPG from Codemasters and Liquid Entertainment. The game will retell this classic tale with heavy-duty action game elements and an emphasis on storytelling and choices with consequences.In Rise of the Argonauts, you play as the young Jason, the Greek king, who has just discovered that his darling wife, Alcmene, has been assassinated. In the early part of the game, you pursue the assassin and eventually exact revenge, but revenge does nothing to restore yourfallen bride. Jason, in classic dramatic fashion, resolves to seek out the golden fleece, the wondrous artifact said to have the ability to resurrect the dead. Over the course of the game, Jason will recruit the legendary battalion known as the Argonauts, consisting of such mythological luminaries as the mighty Hercules, the swift Atalanta, the invulnerable Achilles, and the satyr Pan. Jason’s crew will be stationed on the Argo, the gigantic ship crafted for his journey, which will serve as his base of operations as well as a home for his teammates, who can be swapped out on the fly. At any one time, Jason can bring two active companions into battle.

Rise of the Argonauts is intended to offer something different for fans of both action and role-playing games; says Price, the game is intended to truly capitalize on the prospect of an action RPG beyond being either an action game with a few meaningless stats, or a point-and-click hack-and-slash game where your stats keep going up automatically. The studio is committed to telling a compelling story with comprehensive combat and a unique character-development system. The game is scheduled for release later this year on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Warhammer Online is a new take on the MMORPG genre, and as the name suggests, it’s all about war.At a recent presentation given by Electronic Arts in London, fighting and destruction was the main focus of the day.Currently running in closed beta stage, Warhammer Online follows a world in eternal conflict, a place where war permeates every place and character within it. This is a game that takes itself seriously, and the team is passionate about the fact that that there’ll be no knitting, no flute-playing dwarves, and absolutely no post-battle dancing. The main idea is that everything you do contributes to the overall war effort, which means that all of the quests that you take part in will assist that in some way. Even characters that have more peaceful origins are involved with the war effort in some way, given that warrior priests will need to go into battle, club their enemies to death, and then help heal other characters in the team. Thankfully, there’s a targeting system that lets you have both a hostile target and a friendly target at the same time, so you’re able to switch between the two to attack and heal simultaneously.One of the other ideas behind combat is that you’ll always be rewarded with some sort of cinematic at the end of the battle. If you invade one of the cities, the resulting carnage could last for a long time, but you’ll have a reward for completing it in the form of a cinematic that will advance the story. Although we didn’t get to see one of the cities in the game, from sketches they look as if they’ll boast an impressive amount of scale, considering that they represent the settlements of one of the six factions in the game. From the sounds of it, these city-siege missions will be one of the highlights of the game, and we look forward to seeing them in action in the future.

Maybe some of you believe that internet addiction is just a joke and its not real. However, facts can’t lie and unfortunately we face this big problem for real. Many people have been addicted to internet and online gaming.

Some countries have already made therapy centers and clinics for this cause.In particular ,the Chinese government in recent months has joined South Korea , Thailand and Vietnam in taking measures to try to limit the time teens spend online. It has passed regulations banning youths from Internet cafes and has implemented control programs that kick teens off networked games after five hours.

But no country has gone quite as far as China in embracing the theory and mounting a public crusade against Internet addiction. To skeptics, the campaign dovetails a bit too nicely with China’s broader effort to control what its citizens can see on the Internet. The Communist government runs a massive program that limits Web access, censors sites and seeks to control online political dissent. Internet companies like Google have come under heavy criticism abroad for going along with China’s demands.

Now I think about it ,maybe I am an internet addict too because I spent at least 6 hours a day on the net surfing or playing online games. Are you an internet addict too? I wait for your comments…

One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church.It was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it.

The seven-year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, “Good morning, Alex.”

“Good morning,” replied the young man, still focused on the plaque.

“What is this?” Alex asked.

“Well, son, it’s a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service.”

Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque.

Little Alex’s voice was trembling and barely audible when he asked, “Which service, the 9:45 or the 11:15?”
