Curse of the Red Ninja is a simple game about one ninja's quest to prove his mastery of the art of ninjitsu by killing his master Lawrence. A simply premise yes? (though how many ninjas do you hear of called Lawrence – perhaps Laurence Fishbourne in The Matrix). But what lies beneath is a point and click adventure game that's brutally difficult but comically quirky.

Scrolling beat-em-ups have a problem with repetition; Punch, kick, throw, punch, punch, throw, kick...repeat until completely fed up. Strawhat Samurai 2 by developer Luther Chan gets around this problem by integrating a superb control system, consisting simply of drawing lines with your mouse or laptop touchpad.
