Earlier this week, we reported that Capcom might possibly be working on a new installment in the Okami series, and barely a few days later, this rumor seems partly true. Only announced for release in Japan (scheduled for 2010) Okamiden: Chisaki Taiyou, loosely translated as Okami Legend: The Small Sun, follows the same art style as the PS2 and Wii titles, and while it plays off in similar environments it is an all-new adventure set several months after the conclusion of the original where you follow a new, younger character. Obviously, gameplay is similar to the previous Okami titles with the DS stylus being used to draw your magical symbols.

Not that the title is of any great importance, but it's based on a sticker I have hanging on top of my monitor, and since I apparently don't sleep much, certain people thought it was appropriate to have it there.
If you haven't checked out the new GTA: Ballad of Tony Gay yet, be sure to do so. It's pretty cool (and I'm not even a fan).
Just watched the newest "Weeds," and while I'm glad that the crazy drama from last season seems to have subsided, this episode's ending sure was a surprise. Good stuff.
"Raising the Bar" had its season finale last week, so I guess I'll be able to spend more time in CrimeCraft. I'm a gunsmith so my gang is counting on me to craft them some good weapons, but leveling up your character and your profession takes a while.
Where's that 4-Slot SR, damnit ...
