Oni

<div style="text-align: right;"><img src="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/mrjag/konok_mai_kick.jpg" border="0" /><!--right--></div> <strong>Oni</strong> is an anime-styled third-person action game developed by Bungie West, a division of Bungie. Released in 2001, it was Bungie West's only game. It broke new ground by blending third-person shooting with hand-to-hand combat, resulting in a unique, yet familiar game for third-person shooter enthusiasts. In 1999, while still in development, Oni won the Game Critics Awards for Best Action/Adventure Game. Due to difficulties in debugging and the general unplayability of a fighting game over any less reliable network than a LAN at the time, multiplayer was omitted from the released version.<div style="text-align: right;"><img src="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/mrjag/konok_mai_shoot.jpg" border="0" /><!--right--></div>The game's universe is heavily influenced by Masamune Shirow's manga series Ghost in the Shell. The main characters Konoko and Commander Griffin look similar to Shirow's protagonists Motoko Kusanagi and Daisuke Aramaki. Dark Horse Comics published a comic-book version of Oni as a four-issue limited series, the first issue of which was bundled with the Windows version of the game. <img src="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/mrjag/onilogo.jpg" border="0" /> The anime cut-scene portion of the opening and ending scene was created by the Japanese AIC - Anime International Company - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oni_" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oni_</a>(video_game) <a href="http://www.bungie.net/Projects/Oni/default.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.bungie.net/Projects/Oni/default.aspx</a> <a href="http://www.rockstargames.com/oni/" target="_blank">http://www.rockstargames.com/oni/</a> <img src="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/mrjag/konoko_mai_final.jpg" border="0" /> <div style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://youtube.com/v/rW4w_7GRUPE&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rW4w_7GRUPE&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://youtube.com/v/FOLo5-NHhDE&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FOLo5-NHhDE&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://youtube.com/v/B6So5OCUrd8&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/B6So5OCUrd8&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://youtube.com/v/wmlu1RvyAAw&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wmlu1RvyAAw&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> <!--center--></div>
