Story:Tenchu Z is an action-adventure stealth video game. It is different from previous games in the series in that the player creates their own ninja characters, then builds up their skills as they play through the game rather than choosing from a small selection of pre-made characters, as they take orders from the series' previous main male character, Rikimaru.Show more

Tenchu Z, while not officially related to Sekiro, is basically a proto-spiritual-predecessor to that game, and I love it! The fact that I could create a Ninja Duo to do Mission-styled levels was amazing, and I'm still upset that it's locked to the Xbox 360 to this day! Please make this happen, GOG! You will have an instant "Shut up and take my money!" situation with me if you do!
This is the only title I've played out of the franchise so far; it holds pretty well to this day personally and I actually didn't know there were more titles until I found out about them online and I thought that was awesome, I'd be over the moon if this title and the rest of them were released on GOG because I want to give the other titles a crack for sure.

Got it on xbox 360 recently. Having played the entire Tenchu series on ps1/ps2, this title looked dreamlike. Never have I seen so many mechanics that perfectly fit the ninja fantasy. It was a pretty difficult find at the time, so I settled for other stealth titles that were equally as wonderful, like Splinter Cell & MGS. Having played it now, I can say it is hands down a gem! We should all be able to play this game for the sake of preservation and keeping the fanbase alive.

Played it recently in my xbox 360. Too bad it is not backwards compatible in later consoles. It has a multiplayer mode but I do not have friends with this game and console. The main campaign is pretty good by itself anyways.
I remember playing this on the 360 with a friend of mine some amazing times we had trying to make sure our characters didnt die was fun plus the combat was clunky but always enjoyable.
I have play countless hours of this game on the Xbox 360. After it released I stayed up late with one of my D&D buddies why too often. Sadly he took his own life and this game means a lot to me because of this. It would be great to be able to revisit this game and relive the stories we created while playing together.

Pokémon LeafGreen
Pokémon LeafGreenPokémon LeafGreen Version and Pokémon FireRed Version are a pair of core series Generation III games that are set in the Kanto region. They were released in Japan on January 29, 2004, in North America on September 9, 2004, in Australia on September 23, 2004 and in Europe on October 1, 2004. As the first remakes in the Pokémon franchise, the games revisit the original pair of Pokémon games, Pokémon Red and Green Versions, and so feature all of the characters, plot elements, and challenges of them, but with several important upgrades to bring them up to speed with other Generation III games. The Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter was initially included with the games when they were first released, eliminating the need for Game Link Cables when trading between the two games (and later Pokémon Emerald Version). In later copies, it was sold separately. FireRed and LeafGreen went on to become the second best-selling games of the Game Boy Advance, only behind Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions. They also received Nintendo's Player's Choice awards.

Shadow Complex
Shadow ComplexShadow Complex is presented in 2.5D format; the game world is fully three-dimensional, but the player can only move in two dimensions, simulating the environment of a classic side-scrolling video game. Enemies can, however, move in any direction, and auto-aim is utilized to allow the player to fire at nearby enemies or objects both inside and outside of the 2D plane. The player can use the right control stick to aim with a laser sight. Gameplay in Shadow Complex was inspired by Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The gameplay takes many cues from Metroid: the player can move freely throughout the expansive game world, defeating enemies with a variety of weapons, and as they overcome challenges, they gain new abilities and weapons which allow them to reach new areas. The game rewards the player with experience points as they complete objectives and defeat enemies. The player can gain experience levels, each level boosting basic attributes of the character. These experience levels grant the player skills such as improved gunfire precision or damage resistance. Special rewards such as revealing the full map and unlimited special ammo are granted at specific levels. When the player starts a new game, they will lose all the weapons and items that they have acquired, but will keep the character's experience level and any benefits they have already received from that experience. In addition to the main campaign, a number of challenge levels, called "Proving Grounds", are available, generally requiring the player to make it to the exit of a room using a limited set of items and health. Players are ranked based on time of completion and any scoring objectives when they complete the level. Scores and other statistics from the main campaign and the training group are tracked via online leaderboards. A remastered version and port was announced during the 215 Game Awards, to be released for PS4, Xbox One, PC.

Vehicles could recharge ammo by obtaining powers. A unique feature in the game allows the player to command their team to send resupply on ammos or repair damage units. The game allows the player to command teammates to attack or follow the player's main vehicle.
