    Now instead of finding public places to trash, you can make and destroy your own property—but we’re not sure that’s nearly as fun.

    The gameplay is so addicting that you might just forget that there’s no chance of Venus Williams’ mini-skirt fluttering up in the wind.

    Warning: Tenchu 2 requires a lot of patience and exploration, so if you’re looking for a mindless contest, maybe you should turn on a Presidential debate instead.

    Sure, it sounds gnarly, but the frustrating control interface and primitive graphics make Surf Riders a wipeout.

    You can bludgeon guys with pipes, chuck them into moving traffic, or even mash them face first into sides of roasting beef. What more could a wrestling fan possibly ask for?
