the shaded parts explain the reason why i chose Okami xD but it was a hard decision due to the fact that ToS2 also provides me with a similar feeling

Okami again. Truly an amazing game.

Can I just vote and not explain why? :lol

I voted for Tales of Symphonia 2.

No More Heroes is awesome but I'm just more attached to ToS2. I love the characters, the battle system, the graphics, the story, etc. Using animals in my party is a lot more satisfying than I thought it would be when I first heard about it.

I voted on all of them and didn't explain myself. :lol

Oh, I voted for Okami (also the only one I've played on the list)

No More Heroes once again is the one that I find most memorably. The game provides a lasting memory with Travis Touchdown and his perhaps nature that maybe some of can relate too. I found that I wanted to advance through the story just to see what else things would allude to in the actual nature of the world we live in today. It always seemed like things served as a symbol and the gameplay never got too tired nor old.
