Ninjas
can make for a damn good time with their black silk clothes, swords, and
shuriken. The folks behind the Tenchu series are well aware of
this too. In this PS2 installment, games get to enjoy a stealthy
action game where one's sense are more important than ever. No
fancy high-tech gadgets here, you only get a good set of eyes and ears
to make it passed guards in this game. Best of all, if you finish
the game once, there's plenty of replay value to enjoy too.
One
of the most important aspects of a well made racing game is its ability
to present a good sense of speed. This is what F-Zero GX does
extremely well. Combined with very well-designed tracks, solid
controls, and very pretty graphics, this racer is a must for any
Gamecube owner.
When
it comes to real-time strategy games set in deep space, no one does it
better than Relic. Homeworld 2 greatly improves on the original
with smarter enemies, even more impressive visuals, and more missions
that you can shake a stick at. Best of all, the game is quite
intuitive, so players don't have to spend most of their time scratching
their head wondering what to do.
