Okami - developed by Clover Studio and published by Capcom

It is the most astonishing video game that's ever been created. It is good for children of any age. It's artistic, interactive, and enjoyable. It sparks the imagination and does all that great things with hand-eye coordination. It helps educate children about Japanese culture and legends.

In Okami, you play as Amaterasu who has been reborn as a wolf in Nippon. The land has being overtaken by wicked force. Amaterasu is joined by her friend Issun to save the land. In general the story of Okami is wonderful, and unfolded through text with no voice acting. The whole game is completely steeped in Japanese background, from the graphics to the classical music, to characters whose names are wily nods to figures from legends, all of which crafts the game an explicitly rich experience for fanatics of things Japanese.

Metroid Other M – developed by Team Ninja / Nintendo and published by Nintendo

Metroid Other M is the latest installment in a long running, old-school platform shooter video game series “Metroid”. This game is different from the other installments in the series mostly due to the fact that it is a mixture of active fighting and figuring out the puzzles that needs the player to be conscious of their surroundings and solve the clues of the environment. It does need a bit of study, but when you discover what you are looking for, you can't help but anticipate for the next sequence of events.
