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 [gimura]	PS2
Vigil: Blood Bitterness	Meridian4;GarageGames (Freegamer)	2006	Not entirely sure, but I think Dehon speaks either Spanish with intense growl or plain gibberish that vaguely sounds like actual language, I'm tagging it as gibberish until someone can clear that up. If anyone wants to try identifying it (if that's even possible...) [spoiler=Intro video;Hide][media=youtube]v6dkIY23mlc[/media][/spoiler]*The game hints on the following things: [spoiler=Show spoilers;Hide...]Cannibalism (Dehon and others ate slaves when they fancied it), familial homicide (Dehon murdered his siblings for their failings), immortality (Dehon is over 3 million years old), near god-like powers, the nebulous Evil Dehon is trying to destroy is in fact himself, ...[/spoiler]Vigil: Blood Bitterness plunges you into the dark and disturbing story of an ancient civilization where you must reveal the secrets of your past and exact revenge on the Evil destroying your universe. Ritualistic killings and blood lust blur the line between your own kind and the Evil you seek to annihilate. Your ultimate goal is to free yourself from this tormenting place and understand the origin and the purpose of this never ending Evil. Vigil is a stylized gothic horror adventure game that uses black and white imagery similar to Frank Miller's Sin City to create a unique visual that draws you deeper into the gruesome world of your character, Dehon. Avoid deadly traps, solve puzzles to unravel your past, and even devour the faces of your slaves for sustenance towards your ultimate goal of freedom. Easy point-and-click playability * Engrossing story with deeply disturbed and complex characters * 3D graphics with revolutionary black and white art and dynamic camera angles * Challenging puzzles to solve and reveal the mysteries of your civilization * Compelling pre-rendered cut scenes to advance the horrific story * A gallery of clues in text, pictures, videos and sounds * Set up multiple player profiles [Valve]	Windows
Odin Sphere	Atlus (Vanillaware)	2007	The story of the world's end, hinging on the bravery of those chosen by the Psyphers... The nation of Valentine was once a grand kingdom with powerful magic. With the power of a magical relic known as the "Cauldron," King Valentine subdued the neighboring nations and brought them under his control. His kingdom enjoyed a long period of prosperity... but a sudden disaster destroyed it overnight. War broke out between the Fairy Kingdom of Ringford and the warrior nation of Ragnanival over ownership of the now-abandoned Cauldron, and control of the wasteland that was once Valentine. With the battle growing fiercer by the day, Demon Lord Odin, King of Ragnanival, sets forth a plan to conquer Ringford and claim the Cauldron once and for all. Meanwhile, in the neutral realm of Titania, King Edmund had become a puppet king of his court sorcerer Urzur, who schemes to follow a forgotten prophecy and bring about the Armageddon; a prophecy stating that the world will be destroyed in five great disasters, but the survivors will become kings... As the nations struggle for control, the world steadily slips unknowingly toward its demise, and the prophecies become clear... [Atlus]	PS2

Braid	Microsoft (Number None)	2008	Braid is a puzzle-platformer, drawn in a painterly style, where the player manipulates the flow of time in strange and unusual ways. From a house in the city, journey to a series of worlds and solve puzzles to rescue an abducted princess. In each world, you have a different power to affect the way time behaves, and it is time's strangeness that creates the puzzles. The time behaviors include: the ability to rewind, objects that are immune to being rewound, time that is tied to space, parallel realities, time dilation, and perhaps more. Braid treats your time and attention as precious; there is no filler in this game. Every puzzle shows you something new and interesting about the game world.	X360

MadWorld	Sega (Platinum Games)	2009	Get ready to fight for your life in MadWorld for Wii, where your chainsaw is your best (and only) friend. Jack is just an everyday citizen, who gets dropped headfirst into the terror of Death Watch, a brutal game created by a bunch of vindictive terrorists, known only as ‘The Organisation’. On the streets of Varrigan City, there is no choice – attack first, think later. Jack’s number one priority is to stay alive, but in order for this to become a long-term option, he must battle his way to the nerve-centre of The Organisation and uncover the real motive behind this modern-day gladiator’s arena. Along the way he’ll face the pressure of gruesomely hilarious mini-games that will push him to his limits and confront monstrous bosses, for whom mercy isn’t an option. Always over-the-top and outrageously funny, MadWorld features eye-popping graphics that suck you into the maelstrom of madness and leave you begging for more. Think of a slick monochromatic graphic novel, transport it to an interactive 3D world, add a riot of sound and a huge weapons collection, and you’re just about there. No object is without its bone-splintering possibilities: street signs, dumpsters, tires – your survival will depend on being inventive and ruthless in equal measure. Making innovative use of Wii’s motion-sensing capabilities, MadWorld employs the versatility of both the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk to deliver ferocious finishing moves in a whole variety of macabre ways. Although Jack is very much on a one-man mission, you can also share the experience with your friends, by getting together for some special party games. There’s no cuddly toy for the winner here though. MadWorld for Wii – it’s a very, very bad world... - Stunning black and white stylised graphics that create a truly unique look - Fast and instinctive arcade-style gameplay using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk - Compete in a set of extreme multiplayer mini-games and see who has what it takes to be a MadWorld winner - Interact resourcefully with your environment to deliver the ultimate fatal knockdown to your opponents* [100]* [12]	Wii

Ember is the essence of magic and the keystone of alchemy; it lures the restless with promises of power and riches. Miners burrowed deep beneath the dirt streets of Torchlight, discovering veins of the ore richer than any found in living memory- but they were not the first to covet these mines. The miners broke through into the buried past, a dangerous labyrinth of caverns and ruined civilizations, twisted creatures and the bones of those who came before. Evil bubbles up from the depths and threatens to overrun this town as it has so many others. The heart of a villain has infused the Ember, and his darkness seeps through the veins. To survive, the townspeople must break the cycle of destruction; they need a champion who can destroy the evil at its root. Removing the source of the rot may purify the Ember, but it is a long and perilous journey. The champion must battle through rock and fire, through lost cities and ancient tombs, into the palace of the villain himself. The adventure is set in the mining settlement of Torchlight, a boomtown founded on the discovery of rich veins of Ember – a rare and mysterious ore with the power to enchant or corrupt all that it contacts. This corruptive power may have dire consequences however, and players set out into the nearby mountains and depths below to discover the full extent of Ember’s influence on the civilizations that have come before. Players will choose from among three character classes, and venture from the safety of the town of Torchlight into randomly generated dungeon levels, with a huge variety of creepy monsters, endless variations of loot to find, and quests to complete.

Diablo III	Blizzard Entertainment	2012	[b]Classes:[/b] * Barbarian * Witchdoctor * Wizard * Monk * Demon hunter***Two decades have passed since the demonic denizens, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, wandered the world of Sanctuary in a vicious rampage to shackle humanity into unholy slavery. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils directly, the memory fades slowly and the wounds of the soul still burn. When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram's Cathedral seeking clues to new stirrings of evil, a comet from the heavens strikes the very ground where Diablo once entered the world. The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary to defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells – and even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself. [b]Features:[/b] Explore a fully-realized Sanctuary – the living, breathing gothic fantasy world of Diablo III rendered in gorgeous 3D. Battle the unholy forces of the Burning Hells with all-new character classes like the otherworldly Witch Doctor, or with re-imagined warriors from Diablo's past: such as the fierce Barbarian. Rain Hell on your enemies wielding the interactive environment as a weapon: lay cunning traps, turn destructible objects against your foes, and use environmental obstacles to your advantage - all powered by the Havoc physics system. Experience the intensity of multiplayer Diablo III over an all-new, wickedly-enhanced Battle.net platform with numerous enhancements to make connecting with your friends easier – and cooperative gameplay more fun.

Borderlands 2	2K Games (Gearbox Software)	2012	Un auténtico juegazo de acción, aún mejor que el genial Borderlands original, con una curva de dificultad con menos saltos bruscos y mucha más variedad. Y se agradece que, a diferencia del primer juego, las clases estén igualadas (aunque Zero es excesivamente poderoso con el tiempo) y una plétora de referencias a cada cual más absurda y magistral. Uno de los mejores juegos de acción sandbox. 9 de 10*Concerning the talked about Linux port: "I wouldn't get your hopes up too much..." -Randy Pitchford*DLC expansion pack: Borderlands 2: Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty	Windows

Fallen Enchantress	Stardock (Stardock Entertainment)	2012	A World to Build... or Destroy. "A war is coming... a war between East and West - between Kingdoms and Empires, between man and Fallen. A future of blood and death, of chaos and destruction." – the Oracle Ceresa Design your sovereign with unique talents and weapons for the trials ahead.

Send your champions on quests to recover ancient artifacts, gain allies, or obtain the great wealth lost during the Cataclysm. The land is not simply waiting to be claimed; it must be conquered. Darkling camps, ogre lairs and caves waiting to be explored dot the landscape. In remote corners of the world, tireless butchermen, fell demons and legendary locations are waiting to be found. Explore Varda, a pre-Cataclysm city defended by golems that have turned on the citizens and made the city into a prison. Defeat Sarog to claim the Temple of the Dragon and recruit Ashwake Dragons to your cause. Claim the Flooded Graveyard or the Pit of Sarpah to harness the powerful magical energy of those locations.***Owners of the previous Elemental: War of Magic can get a discount on or even a free copy of Fallen Enchantress, on what the discount or free copy is based on is however not clarified.

World of Warcraft	Linux Game Publishing (Linux Game Publishing;Blizzard)	2013	Linux Game Publishing saw to it that this version of World of Warcraft was 100% ready for publishing. LGP agreed to publish, maintain, support, update, and otherwise handle [b]every[/b] time and expense of this release, thereby removing all liability from Blizzard whilst Blizzard would enjoy the same profit per sale as a they do with the versions of WOW they handle themselves. Blizzard canceled just before publishing citing no reason at the time. Other comments from Blizzard representatives strongly suggest that Blizzard considers the Linux platform "untargetable" due not to the hundreds of distros available (as some companies have whined), but the [i]possibility[/i] of more distros becoming available in the future (note, different versions of Mac and Windows happen on a regular basis for various systems like intel, arm, ppc, desktop, portable, as well). However, this oft mentioned reason would have no validity whatsoever if applied to WOW for Linux, as LGP has already agreed to take on the imagined burden of future distro possibilities. Note also that Blizzard's argument assumes that all Linux Distros, past, present, and future are and will always be equally popular and completely incompatible with each other. They also seem to have not considered targeting just one distro, maybe two, and letting users or volunteers handle other distros themselves (unsupported but not activly prevented by the developer) exactly as hundreds of Linux developers do now for the 7500+ Linux games available. Further insanity is that Blizzard has maintained this version at least until 2011 and probably since.	Linux
