While I only started playing Okami last night, I'm already of the opinion that it's a better Zelda game than Twilight Princess was so I'm going with that. The art style is incredible and I can't believe I didn't pick it up in 2006 when it came out and I was still using a PS2.

As for Saints Row vs. Grand Theft Auto I'm having to side with Grand Theft Auto 4 on this one. I am starting to think that I'm the only one who actually enjoyed the more mature themes found in the game's story because it proves that Rockstar can do both wacky immature violence and compelling melodrama. So far all the Saints Row series has managed to do is create great GTA-clones with even more wacky humor, and by the third game the wackiness was turned up to 11 and I don't know... I just don't like it when a game is trying too hard to be funny.

Okami - 2
Grand Theft Auto IV - 2

Haven't played either of the first two.

GTA IV Vs Saints Row 3.

So, basically the franchise versus a lame parody of it.
Yup, no contest.
My little brother likes Saints Row. It's stupid though, like him.

Okami 2
GTA IV 3

Never played Okami but The Legend of Zelda makes me jizz.

Zelda-1
Okami-2

GTA is better

GTA-4

I've heard there's an HD rerelease coming out this winter for PS3 and would implore you to buy it if you have a console. If you still have a PS2 a new copy shouldn't cost you more than $20 from Game Stop. If you like The Legend of Zelda, then you'll love this because it's pretty much that, but in Feudal Japan with Japanese folklore and Shinto mythology at the center. Plus the art style is fucking beautiful.

Spoiler for larger picture than I thought:

This is a game that will still look beautiful in 5 years.

Only played TP and GTA IV out of those 4 so my "votes" don't count. TP was still a great game in its own right, but I felt let down by it when I compare it to other Zelda games. GTA IV is a really fun game but I think it gets overrated.

How far are you in it pete? Im about 30 hours in now and just getting started on the main quest

Its crazy how big the game is. I thought the first hub world was gonna be it, a la zelda, but no, I'm on my like 5th different big ass place now. Each one about the size of hyrule its cray.

The writing is pretty funny too, can't believe capcom shut down clover studio

Its great compared to skyword sword

Okami is one of my favorite games, so it obviously gets my vote. I never liked Twilight Princess that much.
Zelda-1
Okami-3

I haven't played Saints Row 3 yet (I think that Saints Row 2's a great time waster, though), so I won't vote, but Grand Theft Auto IV is alright (although I'll admit that I've only played it for a few hours).

I'm not very far at all, in fact I just started it yesterday and played for about an hour before I had to go to class. I'll hopefully get a little bit further in it over the weekend, but even with games I like I don't play a lot of video games anymore.

Not touched either of the first two games but I despise GTA4 and love SR3 so that one's no contest (although personally I think SR2's the best of them all). I did notice someone stating a Capcom game actually had good writing though which makes me want to try this Okami out because that sounds pretty unbelievable to me.
