#40: Tenchu: Stealth Assassins (PS1)

I love the stealth genre in its many forms and Tenchu is a remarkable entry into the genre. First, you get to play as a ninja, that's already pretty damn cool. Then even though the game's scoring system rewards stealth above all, you're allowed to make mistakes and your character is skilled enough in one on one combat to survive a miscalculated stealth kill. Tenchu offers you a wide variety of tools associated with ninja lore like shurikens, smoke bombs, grappling hook and of course poisoned rice (okay maybe not that frequent in ninja stories but so fun to use!).
