Painted Game Alert: Okami

Okami. You should learn that if you already haven't. It's the name of a new game on PS2. As geeky as we are here at Mister Fanboy, we aren't really gamers. At times in our lives, yes, and possibly again in the future, but not now. Anyway, we happened upon a review of the game at the NYT. Don't know if will make you register (it's free) to see it or not, but give it a shot. Anyway, the game looks like a beautiful watercolor painting, series of them actually, and is supposedly in the same vein as Zelda. We thought it looked pretty cool. Even the story is interesting. It involves the White Wolf Goddess coming to kill the many-headed dragon. Along for the ride, you're the artist who wields his magic brush to fight, paint, and do all manner of most excellent things. It looks fun to us. Hopefully, to you too.
