PC Review: Neverwinter Nights 2 Bards sing tales of heroes from ages past, but never have the Forgotten Realms so desperately needed a champion. Years have passed since the war between Luskan and Neverwinter, almost enough time for the wounds of war to heal. But the brief peace the Realms have known may be at an end. Tension growing between the mighty city-states means the Sword Coast again teeters on the edge of open war. Unnoticed, a greater danger stalks the City of Skilled Hands. Unbeknownst to the denizens of the North, deep in the Mere of Dead Men, dark forces from across the Realms have been rallied under the banner of a legendary evil. If left unchallenged, all of the North is doomed to fall under its power. Even in this darkest hour, hope remains. A mysterious relic is borne to Neverwinter in the hands of a lone hero so that its secrets may be unlocked - secrets that carry the fate of all the North. Playing the ethnic stereotype is just not Lucy Lius style. She goes for roles with a sharp edge like a pregnant woman in her new AIDS drama, writes TAN DAWN WEI. IN the independent AIDS drama 3 Needles, Lucy Liu has to look heavily pregnant, wear no make-up and speak impeccable Mandarin. It is not like anything she is used to, but she fulfils all three requirements the last one, imperfectly but competently. Her role as an ignorant AIDS-stricken black marketeer in rural China who collects blood for sale from peasants is the first time that she has delivered her lines entirely in Mandarin in any of her TV shows and movies. Liu may be Chinese-American, but for anyone who has cared to track her career, the 38-year-old has not exactly been playing the ethnic card in Hollywood. Part of the power of Heroes lies in its plotting. Each episode is a chapter, and each chapter ends with a cliffhanger. And unlike Lost, the cliffhangers don't hang forever. This evening, for example, after slowing down in the past couple of weeks to introduce two new mutants (Radioactive Man and Waitress Who Remembers Everything -- And Not Just to Hold the Mayo), Heroes zips forward with the heavily promoted climax of its "Save the cheerleader, save the world" storyline. While the apocalyptic end-game certainly contributes to Heroes' status as television's most popular new show (No. 12 overall in BBM Nielsen's latest ratings for the Toronto area), what makes Heroes so special is that it's funny. Granted, the apocalypse is no hotbed of humour. Mark Houlahan, an apocalypticist at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, points to the deriding of the whore of Babylon in the Book of Revelation as one of the rare instances in which the two overlap, and in that case it was as satire. MANILA, Philippines (CNN) -- Red Cross officials in Manila listed 145 people as dead and 294 as missing after Typhoon Durian slammed into the Philippines Friday, triggering massive volcanic mudslides and flooding. In addition, 179 people were wounded and officials said the death and wounded tolls were expected to climb as Red Cross teams plow through the wreckage and assess the damage, Gwendolyn Pang, executive assistant to the Red Cross director in Manila said Saturday. The rescue teams were first sent out Friday by boat, but Pang said many of the areas were inaccessible. -- CNN Radio's Lee Garen contributed to this story (Posted 3:35 a.m.) Record year for CEO departures
NEW YORK (CNN) -- The number of chief executive officer departures reached 1,347 in November, making 2006 a record year for CEO turnover, according to a study conducted by consulting firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas. Vanguard: Saga of Heroes New Combat Trailer Released Sony Online Entertainment and Sigil Games Online have released a new trailer featuring combat from the upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game, "Vanguard: Saga of Heroes." The footage features just a few of the low level creatures in the vast world of Telon that beginning players must battle using an arsenal of weaponry and magical spells. Slicing through massive armies of fearsome denizens, players will explore three enormous continents and advance their characters along the path of their choosing. Lush environments reminiscent of oil paintings will immerse players in a highly-detailed seamless world filled with mystery and intrigue. "Vanguard: Saga of Heroes" is currently in closed beta, and scheduled to release Q1 of 2007.
