What a strange week: nothing was quite as it seemed. EA finally got its Medal of Honor reboot on the ground and nobody seemed to know quite what to think. Review scores wobbled, controversy gusted and died away, and the game contradicts itself: at once sentimental and clinical, self-important and empty. Beneath all the bluster though, it's just a decent shooter: Tom found himself impressed, but detached.

Okami is, in my estimation, the only challenger ever to have beaten Zelda at its own game. It shared Zelda's themes and its structure – exploration and discovery, gentle but absorbing puzzling, an unobtrusive but captivating narrative gently ushering you through a sequence of towns and dungeons whilst leaving you free to distract yourself.
