This fighting game features a unique aging mechanic: each time your character dies, they get older, losing health but gaining attack power. Success depends on learning the levels inside and out, controlling groups of enemies, and memorizing enemy attacks and how to use the environment to your advantage. Precise timing with parries and dodges, plus breaking down structures, are key to winning each fight. While shortcuts become available as you play, consistently improving your core skills through practice is the most important thing.

Growing up on the desert planet Tatooine with my aunt and uncle, Owen and Beru Lars, was pretty simple. I, Luke, spent my days helping with the moisture farm, but honestly, I always dreamed of escaping and becoming a pilot. Little did I know, my life was about to change completely! I had no idea I was actually the son of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, or that I even had a twin sister, Leia. Thankfully, Obi-Wan Kenobi was secretly watching over me, keeping a special lightsaber safe – my father’s, as it turned out – until the time was right. Looking back, that peaceful upbringing was the perfect setup for discovering my connection to the Jedi and learning about the dramatic events that brought down the Republic, stories I’d only heard whispers of before.

Marilyn Monroe, born on June 1st, 1926, would be 99 years old today. She starred in iconic films like ‘Some Like It Hot’ and ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’. She began her career as a model, which eventually led to a significant contract with a film studio in the early 1950s. Later, she even started her own production company to have more say in the kinds of roles she played.

As a movie fan, I’ve always been captivated by Terry Gilliam. He’s an American director who first became known as part of the legendary Monty Python – he did those amazing, quirky animated bits that were so unique to their early work. But he really came into his own as a director with films like ‘Brazil,’ ‘The Fisher King,’ and ’12 Monkeys.’ What I love about his movies is how visually inventive and wonderfully strange they are. He often co-wrote his films too, and he’s been nominated for a ton of awards for both his directing and writing – and deservedly so!

In the world of MI6, agents in the “00 Section” are authorized to kill when necessary while on missions – a concept originating from Ian Fleming’s novels and carried over into the films. Becoming a “00” agent requires proven skill and official approval for each operation. The films consistently portray Bond receiving assignments and guidance from his superior, M, emphasizing that his actions are controlled by a clear chain of command, not simply acting as a vigilante. This framework establishes Bond’s missions as official government operations with a degree of legal justification within the story’s context.

Ryo is the incredibly skilled protagonist of ‘City Hunter,’ famous for keeping the city of Shinjuku safe. He’s a master marksman with lightning-fast reflexes, and he’s just as effective in hand-to-hand combat. The original anime, produced by Sunrise, perfectly blended gritty action with a lighthearted tone. Ryo’s incredible awareness allows him to turn ordinary locations into strategic battlegrounds, all without relying on any supernatural powers.

The game rewards players for attacking enemies from behind with extra damage, but this bonus doesn’t work while the enemy still has yellow armor. The game’s interface doesn’t explain this – it doesn’t tell you that backstab damage won’t affect armored health until the armor is destroyed. This can be confusing, making it seem like your character isn’t dealing the expected damage, even if your strategy focuses on flanking. Once the armor is broken, the backstab bonus damage returns to normal.
