Based at least on the first few hours, Okami is genius.  Ok, the gameplay is basically Zelda, and it starts out with a way, way, way too long non-interactive dialogue-fest.  But once you get past that?  Oh, man.  Beautiful and unique art style, very fun gameplay with the brush techniques, and the whole thing just brings a stupid smile to my face.  Whipping out a few well placed brushstrokes and watching a whole field erupt in cherry blossoms is a fantastic moment that will stick with me as a notable gaming moment for quite a while...
