Having finally finished up the second volume of ".hack//G.U.," over New Year's vacation, I went looking for a quest. I would have like to play the new "Zelda" but my wallet said the recently "PlayStation the Best" reissued "Okami" would be a better choice--and of course the Wii is sold out throughout Japan anyway.

Six hours through now, and Okami rocks. I've heard a lot of people complain about the number of side quests available can drive a man insane but I'm the sort of guy that likes obscure fetch quests so I haven't had a problem yet. Of course, the art style is amazing, the music great, and I've been really enjoying the brush techniques. I know I'm late coming to Okami, but I'm definitely glad I gave it a try. Now If I can just get Waka to stop appearing.

Anyway, Happy New Year's and have a great 2007!
