	Animefringe: Reviews - Samurai Jack
		The samurai defeats Aku, but there is a twist- Aku transports the samurai far into the future so that he and his descendants can't stop the demon from taking over the Earth.
		Jack is soon enlisted by a group of canine archaeologists who are being forced by Aku to dig up valuable gems when they'd rather learn about their ancestors who walked on all fours and couldn't talk.
		The final standoff between Jack and the scarab armies of Aku is very impressive, although the slow motion and split-screen techniques are perhaps a bit overused.

	Samurai Jack: The Shadow of Aku review for the PS2
		For those of you unfamiliar with the cartoon, Samurai Jack is the story of a young samurai trained from birth to defeat the sinister, shapeshifting master of darkness named Aku.
		Jack is outfitted with two simple attacks, a jump and the ability to launch throwing stars and shoot arrows.
		Jack's usually entertaining battles have been reduced to button-mashing attacks and the "story" part of this episode has been cut down to a few meaningless cutscenes.
