Tokyo, Japan (CNN) — The game begins with a teenage girl on a subway platform. She notices you are looking at her and asks, “Can I help you with something?”

That is when you, the player, can choose your method of assault.

With the click of your mouse, you can grope her and lift her skirt. Then you can follow her aboard the train, assaulting her sister and her mother.

As you continue to play, “friends” join in and in a series of graphic, interactive scenes, you can corner the women, rape them again and again.

The game allows you to even impregnate a girl and urge her to have an abortion. The reason behind your assault, explains the game is that the teenage girl has accused you of molesting her on the train. The motive is revenge.—CNN

On Earth Hour hundreds of millions of people around the world will come together to call for action on climate change by doing something quite simple—turning off their lights for one hour. The movement symbolizes that by working together, each of us can make a positive impact in this fight, protecting our future and that of future generations. Learn more about how Earth Hour began, what we’ve accomplished, and what is in store for 2010.

Last year, 80,000,000 Americans took place in this event and over a billion worldwide, let’s double it this year!

Return of the Ankh was supposed to be issued earlier than March 2010. It’s just as well: 2008’s stupefying 4th World Warprovided such a dense concentration of charged lyrics over ceaselessly vein-melting production work that Erykah Badu could have been forgiven for letting five years pass prior to unveiling something else to soak up. Return of the Ankh is a relief in that Badu does not attempt to trump herself with a set that is even more intense and powerful than its predecessor. Thematically, it’s aligned with 4th World War’s relatively lighter songs, “Me” and “Honey,” more personal than planetary, less challenging sonically and lyrically. Most of it was actually recorded at the same time as 4th World War. The list of collaborators, featuring Georgia Anne Muldrow, Madlib, Shafiq Husayn, Dilla, James Poyser, Ahmir Thompson, and Karriem Riggins, is similar, yet the makeup is drastically different, designed for instant kicked-back enjoyment. A pause, deep breath, and a “Here we go” is not required prior to putting it on. Instead, we get Badu playing around, in the best possible way, with sample-rooted songs like “Turn Me Away (Get Munny)” (a twist on Sylvia Striplin’s “You Can’t Turn Me Away” and the 1995 hip-hop anthem that sampled it, Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s “Get Money”), “Gone Baby, Don’t Be Long” (a slightly silly new-love song that re-works Paul McCartney’s “Arrow Through Me”), and “Umm Hmm” (its optimism reflected in that of its backbone, Ndugu & the Chocolate Jam Company’s Earth, Wind & Fire-like “Take Some Time”). — The Allmusic Blog

The basketball star apologized in court for his actions, saying, “Every day, I wake up wishing it did not happen.”

Gilbert Arenas received the following sentence:

-2 years probation
-30 days halfway house
-$5,000 to victims of violence fund
-Registration as gun offender
-400 hours of community service

Gilbert Arenas was charged Thursday with a single count of carrying a pistol without a license, a felony that carries a five-year sentence, but the Washington Wizards guard has reached a plea agreement that could result in much less or even no jail time, several sources close to the case said.— Washington Post Jan15, 2010
