1. Power Drift
   In Power Drift, a single player races against eleven other drivers over any one of five abstract and hugely demanding courses. The game's 25 stages (separated into five different races, only ONE of which can be played per game) are constructed of undulating, tilting, roller coaster-esque tracks; featuring jumps, drops and chicanes. On most of the stages, it's possible to 'fall off' the higher sections of the track, crashing to the ground below and losing valuable seconds.
2. Clint Eastwood -- Absolute Power
   Clint Eastwood's powerful companion piece to "Flags of Our Fathers" tells the story of the battle of Iwo Jima from the perspective of a group of Japanese soldiers. Among the men sent to defend the island from the imminent American attack are a baker who longs to see his newborn daughter, an equestrian champion, an idealistic military policeman, and a controversial commanding general. Ken Watanabe, Kazunari Ninomiya, Tsuyoshi Ihara star. 140 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: Japanese and English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish; featurettes; photo gallery; more. Two-disc set. In English and Japanese with English subtitles.
3. Benito Mussolini -- Power
   As Prime Minister, the first years of Mussolini's rule were characterized by a right-wing coalition government composed of Fascists, nationalists, liberals and even two Catholic ministers from the Popular Party. The Fascists made up a small minority in his original governments. Nonetheless, Mussolini's domestic goal was the eventual establishment of a totalitarian state with himself as supreme leader (Il Duce) a message that was articulated by the Fascist newspaper Il Popolo which was now edited by Mussolini's brother Arnaldo. To that end, Mussolini obtained dictatorial powers for one year. He favored the complete restoration of state authority, with the integration of the Fasci di Combattimento into the armed forces (the foundation in January 1923 of the Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale) and the progressive identification of the party with the state. In political and social economy, he passed legislation that favored the wealthy industrial and agrarian classes (privatisations, liberalisations of rent laws and dismantlement of the unions).[6]
4. Adolf Hitler -- Power
   It was the Enabling Act of March 23, 1933, which in a legal way conferred dictatorial powers on Adolf Hitler. Only 94 Social Democratic votes were cast against it. The date for its abrogation (see Article 5) was never kept. Indeed, the Enabling Act is the last measure which the Reichstag passed under the republican and democratic Constitution of the Republic. It spelled its end and the beginning of National Socialist dictatorship.
5. Super Paper Mario -- Nintendo Power
   As great as it is, Super Paper Mario is not perfect. Although four characters eventually become available to players, most are used only in a few specific situations and they mainly feel superfluous. Mario's 3D-flipping power is so much fun that players will almost certainly spend most of the game as the red-suited plumber. And although the game is long, it may not be challenging enough for experienced gamers. It's possible to play through the entire adventure without ever dying.
6. Day of Defeat -- World War Ii
   Day of Defeat is a 3D multiplayer shooter that simulates squad-level infantry combat between the adversaries of World War II's European Theatre; the Allies or the Axis Powers. The goal is to complete various mission objectives.
7. Franco -- October
   In October 1943, Franco recalled the Spanish Blue Division from the Soviet Union. Convinced that the Axis powers would be defeated, Franco now began to openly support the Allies in the war with Germany.
8. Bose -- British Raj
   The most valid criticism of Bose is related to the nature of the nationalist movement itself. For Bose's faults - and there were many - were inevitable in a nationalist fighting a colonial-imperial power that both fanned nationalism, and denied it legitimate expression. The Raj, as Marx penetratingly observed, did unwittingly bring modern ideas into India - but the nationalist reaction it produced in India was distorted by the British presence.
9. Bulgaria -- Centuries
   The villages of Bulgaria have a spirit of their own and willingly open doors for those who visit. The traditions, and folklore are plentiful, as well as tasty cuisine and crafts of old origin. Bozhentsi up until the 20th century was the economic center for other Balkan villages and is now an architectural and historic reserve area. Dug into the ground is Arbanassi’s church called the Birth of Christ, holding a curious art gallery of realistic figures and scenes from the Bible, all exact origin unknown.
10. Vandal -- Vandal Savage
    The great thing about Vandal Savage is that, by the very nature of the character, he can appear in any time or setting. He has been shown operating in New Gondwanaland in the year 40,000 BCE and in Egypt in 1200 BCE, allied with the mad priest Akh-Ton against Teth-Adam (who would later become the villain Black Adam). He has fought against both the Golden Age heroes of the Justice Society of America, as well as the Modern Age heroes of the Justice League. He has been shown living as far into the future as the 853rd Century. He is a particular nemesis of the Golden Age Green Lantern and the Justice Society of America, as well as both the Silver and Modern Age Flash. His most persistent adversary has been Mitch Shelley, the Resurrection Man, whose power is to be restored to life every time he dies.
