...Nintendo side, Luigi's Mansion is one of several new works from Shigeru Miyamoto, the man behind Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong and an inductee of the game designers' Hall of Fame. 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...

...katana and the shorter wakizashi, together with their elaborate hilts, scabbards and other fittings, to which a large body of lore and connoisseurship attached. The figure who most vividly expressed the relation between culture and the samurai ethos remained a legend long after his death. He was Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645), who wrote a famous text on swordplay (A Book of Five Rings) and reputedly killed 60 swordsmen before his 30th birthday; he then gave up killing in favor of painting and calligraphy.
