Final Fantasy Tactics ($228 from Takin Electronics Co) 'Every now and then a game will make me lose sleep - but none exhausted me like Tactics. Its addictiveness is unrivalled and the way it provides tremendous complexity while maintaining a relatively simple interface is a masterpiece of game design.'

Onimusha (PlayStation 2, $478 from Takin Electronics Co) 'This action RPG [role play game], released in February, has the most glamorous graphics ever and features heart-throb Takeshi Kaneshiro as the lead character. It has more functions compared to other games such as taking over weapons from defeated enemies in order to raise your energy.'

Onimusha (PlayStation 2, $478 from Takin Electronics Co) 'Of course, having the Japanese-Taiwanese star Takeshi Kaneshiro as the lead character is the biggest attraction. But it isn't merely an action game - you also have to use your brain to solve the problems - and the picture quality is excellent.'
