YES! I'm so happy Okami is getting a little recognition. It's one of the greatest adventure games of all-time, and one of the best PS2 games. It's amazing that IGN gave it game of the year instead of the usual overhyped candidates like Gears Of War, FF12, Zelda (very great game, but not as good as everyone says), Oblivion, etc. I like to see the underdog games win once in a while.
You monster, Oblivion is in no way overhyped and deserved every bit of hype it received.
