Hello there!

A little advice…

If a) you have a PlayStation 2 b) you’re thinking of buying a PS3 or even c) you don’t like games but simply fancy making an easy buck on eBay a year or so from now, buy Okami.

Mere weeks after release to critical acclaim, it is nowhere to be seen on the UK all-formats chart. This proves two things:

  1. The British public prefer to play garbage like “Little Britain: The Videogame.”
  2. Okami will surely join Panzer Dragoon Saga, Ico etc in the exclusive club called “Ignored at launch, fought for on eBay.”

Don’t say I didn’t tell you.

    I really feel sorry for the developers of great games that never seem to get recognition from the buying public. The same thing happened with Beyond Good & Evil, that was a great game but it just never sold well so unfortunately no chance of a sequel even though it finished on a bit of a cliff-hanger :(

    I think most people enjoy the comfort of familiarity more than daring originality. It would explain the presence of Final Fantasy XII and FIFA ‘07 at the top of the charts…

    Truth be told though, Okami is more innovative in style than content. It owes a lot to Zelda.
