SAN JOSE, Calif. — Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson unveiled a much-anticipated reorganization plan on Tuesday, in a memo that said the struggling Internet pioneer will focus its efforts in three main divisions that he hopes will build closer ties with consumers and advertisers.

Thompson planned to discuss the changes during an "all-hands" meeting with employees Tuesday, a week after he announced plans for to cut 2,000 jobs, or about 14 percent of Yahoo's workforce. The new CEO is under pressure to return the Sunnyvale, Calif., company to growth after a period in which revenue and profit have steadily declined.

The more credit you give "Ninja Gaiden 3" for respecting your ability to play it, the likelier it is to make you rue the thought.

That alone makes "NG3" — a beautiful, blazingly fast action game that's also a descendent of one of the most perfect action games ever made — a crushing letdown.

Superficially, "NG3" looks a lot like 2004's "Ninja Gaiden," a game so cherished that Tecmo keeps reissuing it (most recently, for the Vita in February). Ryu Hayabusa (that's you) remains one of gaming's most agile action heroes. The places you'll visit are beautiful and diverse, and while many of the enemies you face look like reskinned versions of enemies you saw already, the bosses — from a T-Rex to a giant witch whose body becomes a level unto itself — are satisfactorily outrageous.
