Ōkami  Capcom (Clover Studio;Ready at Dawn)2008Honestly after playing through the PS2 version and the Wii version, the Wii version is easier to play.***Supposedly partially remade due to Clover Studio being closed down prior to release, faded IGN logo has been spotted on the package art, and there's been various other points made how the Wii port is inferior to the original.

Ōkami  Capcom (Clover Studio)2006[b]retelling[/b] — Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, Susanoo slaying Orochi, and likely others. There's also plenty of elements borrowed from other classic tales without explicitly retelling them, such as Issun-bōshi.***[spoiler=Show vague hints;Hide]Get to Agata forest - use Bloom on all the dark wrinkled trees with ribbons in the starting village and talk to Mr. Orange, you'll get Lily Pad brush power.
(more tips to follow; simpler tips omitted)

Black cherry trees : Bloom power
Green/white beam of light : dig
Pile of leaves : Galestorm power
Ice : Inferno power
Huge flags : Galestorm power
Guardian Statues : vases made by the woodcutter in Shinshu
Cat statues : Catwalk power[/spoiler]
Note: the game effectively pauses when drawing, and the only limit you have then is how large your ink pot (magic pool) is. Ink is restored quite fast when not drawing, so there's very little reason to upgrade it (unless some later puzzles require more). Of course, being brush heavy in the fighting will make you want to upgrade it. This is also works great for defending yourself when you otherwise feel like you can't (grow trees between the attackers and you, slash at the enemies or the stuff they throw at you, etc.)

Feeding animals gives 1-5 points of praise/adoration (xp) per animal, though single feeding affects the whole herd, flock, or whatever.***Other languages are only present on the game box and manual (in-game voices/text still in English), at least in European releases.

The Japanese title 大神 actually reads "great deity" rather than "wolf", but the pronunciation (and transliteration) is the same as with 狼 which stands for "wolf". So, in effect, it's a pun for "great wolf deity".***In Okami, the player takes the role of the mythical sun goddess Amaterasu, in the form of a wolf. Her task is to restore color (or 'life') to the world by destroying the monsters who have stolen it. Since Amaterasu is a deity, there are naturally people who worship her and people who don't. The more people who worship her (as a result of her restoring color and doing other good deeds for them), the more powerful she becomes.***In Ōkami, the legendary monster Orochi has come back to life and turned the world into a wasteland. To restore the earth's natural order and beauty, players assume the role of wolf-embodied sun god Amaterasu and participate in numerous action packed battles against the ominous beings they encounter. However, conquering these impending enemies is no small feat. Amaterasu will travel through different regions of the world to regain her 'Celestial Brush' powers, all the while revitalizing everything in her path. Using an innovative control scheme, gamers can slash away at enemies, use various brush strokes to solve puzzles, create pathways, chop down trees or turn night into day. The real-time fighting system not only involves assorted brush techniques, but also myriad of specials attacks typically not associated with the physical prowess of a normal wolf.

Featuring a visually stunning art style, Ōkami comes alive through beautiful scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolor-like calligraphy art. Throughout the vibrant and distinctive surroundings, players must also interact with a dynamic cast of characters, building their faith to uncover clues and hints. The blend of stylized graphics and unique gameplay will result in a rich and dynamic experience never seen before.***great art style

Tomb Raider  Square Enix (Crystal Dynamics)2013Probablemente el mejor Tomb Raider jamás hecho, aunque abusa un poco de los QTM y se nota la ausencia de puzzles.

Voices author2001Spoiler Free Review

A very interesting game, sort of. No puzzles to solve, this is purely narrative driven design. There is little interaction. Of course, the subject of free will versus fate kind of demands certain restrictions if it going to be explored properly. But many players will be frustrated by watching events and being powerless to change them (although what they say and do has major effect). At one point they literally can do nothing else but type the next letter in a command until its entered. Someone not familiar with the real historical figures involved will actually enjoy the story a lot more. Those somewhat familiar may enjoy the moment they realize who exactly Jhenette is. But even someone familiar with history and the Holy Bible can have a good time identifying who they are playing, the dark winged figure, Michel, and so forth. This is often called a "religious" game though there is very little religion played all in the game if any. There is much more faith and philosophy involved. The character of Jhenette is driven purely by faith.

Jhenette's story has been told many times and this retelling is used here just as it has been before to explore the same issues just as it has before. The only two things are new here. One is a 'new character' (Actually, the 'new' character turns out not to be new at all as revealed by one of the endings) that interacts with Jhenette and does not alter the earthly historic events. The other is the player's ability to not change the original story while being offered the opportunity to do so. Which does make the story more involving. Jhenette's 'last scene in the movie' especially becomes more powerful when the player can tell her what to say during. Attempts to alter the story can only alter a new romantic subplot, where most of the theological problems are introduced. Thankfully, the new subplot leaves Jhenette unsullied.

The author himself claims to be "non-Christian" and "tried not to contradict anywhere mainstream Christian theology". He fails here, not only with 'mainstream Christian theology' but with straight contra-biblical content (I don't think he's read very much of it). He had a desire to attempt 'good "Christian" IF'. Well, I'll say its good, but its hardly Christian. Though what are commonly called 'Christian' themes are used, a few bits of theology presented are definitely incompatible with the teachings of Jesus and some is definitely not even Catholic, but Catholic faith is what the game comes closest too. However, his portrayal of Jhenette and the dark winged figure seem surprisingly correct. These portrayals are excellent speculations. The dark winged figure is a scene-stealer (which fits his character perfectly). His use of expletives are certain to offend some. "If this attempt of mine is liked, it may also show that a non-Christian author can be an asset to such an endeavour."[sic] Mr. Katsaris, I'm curious, will you ever attempt to write something to be an asset to the endeavor of female Welsh Literature? Cheer up, while becoming Welsh and a female may be a stretch for you, becoming Christian is super easy. [url=/sendmessage.php?user=Zerothis]Ask me[/url] if you want.

Ys: The Oath in Felghana  Falcom;XSEED Games (Falcom)2005When redheaded thrill-seeker Adol Christin and his eternal blue-haired companion Dogi make an unannounced visit to Dogi's homeland of Felghana after an eight-year absence, it quickly becomes apparent that things have changed dramatically.
