My current addiction: "Okami" on PS2. *Marvelous* game. Gorgeous art, great music and sound, engrossing game play (once you get past a too-long intro), good emotional "oomph" as you push back darkness with flowers.
I've been watching this game develop at E-3 for a couple years. For those who read my E-3 previews, it's the game where you play a hand-drawn Japanese wolf, and your abilities are the "Powers of the Brush", as you learn steadily more powerful calligraphy techniques which help you advance through the game, and use creative techniques in combat. You can "hit" a monster, or you can draw a line through it, or link it to fire or icicles or lightning bolts, or draw a swirl to cause a windstorm and blow something out of the sky...
Wonderful stuff. This one is getting my vote for "Game of the Year".

How does the "drawing" system compare with that of the Nintendo DS? It seems like it would be more fit on that platform from your description.
