...RADAR FLASHLIGHTS Gene Greneker, a radar expert at Georgia Tech, was fiddling with a radar gun he had developed for monitoring marksmen and archers during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics when he noticed something odd: whenever someone walked on the other side of his laboratory wall, a deflection appeared on the radar screen. One thing led to another, and now Greneker is trying to smooth out the final kinks in his Radar Flashlight, a device that looks like an oversize hair dryer but can penetrate 8-in.-thick nonmetal doors and walls.

It features Mario's brother ridding his real estate of ghosts with the aid of a flashlight and vacuum cleaner; great game play aside, it's an excuse to show off the GameCube's spectacularly realistic lighting effects. Similarly, the hugely entertaining jet-ski game Wave Race has made an art form of virtual H2O; its foam and raindrops on the camera lens will have you reaching...
