Okami

It's funny, as I was reading this article, my roommate came home and turned on his playstation. His brother had just given him Okami, so I actually got to see it in action. Personally, I don't have much patience for videogames which require investing lots of time to explore and decipher--I prefer games like Katamari where you just have to roll a giant ball of stuff--but Okami is so different, and so fun just to look at. This game to me was like an interactive version of Princess Mononoke, just because of the way all the characters spoke and all the Japanese mythology involved. The animation is also really unique, I don't think there's anything else like it on the market right now.
