After playing the wonderful game of Okami (the PS2 version, which is superior to the Wii version. This is since it doesn't lag or have terrible controle detection...thanks Ready at Dawn for focusing on God of War rather than Okami..), they are coming out with the sequel for DS.

PLOT SPOILER:

If you haven't checked out for details at the Gamestop coverage of it, well, you play as another white wolf who gets similar powers after Amaterasu leaves to fight threats in the heavens, and monsters soon return again to Amaterasu's island home.

SPOILER END:

Okami was a great game and the guidebook that was released that covers the whole game and it's many aspects was excellent. I recommend getting it.

Okami Official Complete Works was a great book to get as well.

Wolves in Japan have gotten alot of attention lately in Japan. They have made Wolf's Rain, and making the show Spice and Wolf, based on the great literature of the same name. Plus the Japanese wolf has been talked about in the book, The Last Wolves of Japan, by Brett Walker. And the Shinsengumi (aka the Wolves of Mibu), who embodied the spirit, savage nature, and nobleness of wolves, have been covered over many years in Rurouni Kenshin, Peacemaker Kurogane in anime, and great videogames for the Japanese PS2, like Fu-Un Shinsengumi and Shinsengumi Gunrouden.

The new Okami for DS continues this, and hopefully this trend in media will continue to honor the once Japanese worshipped wolf god, Oguchi no Magami, or Large Mouth Pure God. And one day, maybe wolves can re-populate in Japan once more.

Until that time, look forward to another hit in the future to the great franchise that Okami is.

I would classify this as politics, but there is no category for that. Now then,

Please don't vote for McCain or Palin tomorrow.

McCain has supported in the past the Bush Admin and has 0 for an environmental record. He supported the idea of moving Navajo off their land for coal near Black Mesa, Arizona. McCain supported the PMC Blackwater, who slaughtered civilians and was supported by the now dead anti-gay racist Jerry Falwell.

Palin profits off of the destruction of wolves, bears and other animals.

She supports the drilling of ANWR and if McCain doesn't survive in office, she will be your president.

She is also against abortion in the cases of rape and incest. She has little experience, yet the republicans think she is qualified for office.

Please don't vote for McCain as well as don't let your families and friends vote for them either. No to McCain and Palin! For humans and wolves and for all!
