Games blow me away all the time. Probably because I'm not like everyone else here and gets the oppertunity to by a game a week. But one of my biggest surprises came from Pokemon Diamond. I turned it on and started playing, and was just completely blown away at how things had come so far ever since that copy of Blue I got what seemed like a lifetime ago. Even now I'm still blown away by how everything has gotten more "3D" in terms of the world everyone walks in.

Then there is Okami. I've been playing the game as if it's the only thing to grace the PS2 and have been addicted...not just as a gamer, but as an artist. Never have I been so artistically inspired by a game before. The game's style has just given me a new outlook on art, and I like going there if I'm feeling uninspired or in need for a new angle on things. Heck, I've started the game five times just to see cursed zones disappear in awe. It definitely took me by surprise...no doubt about that.
