I've been rather moved by the stunning Okami imagery which has been filling the blogosphere. It's inspired a trawl around to see what other inspired visuals have rocked the interactive entertainment world.

Here are just a few:

Okami A game which "melds art with Japanese mythology and cel-shaded graphics," explains NTSC-uk

Drawn to Be Alive A Unreal Tournament mod, if you can believe it! The unique 2D-in-a-3D-world graphics are inspired by Paper Mario.

Comix Zone The precursor to the comics-inspired XIII and Viewtiful Joe (both award recipients for their graphics), this game was set in a comics universe to striking effect.

Mojib Ribbon From the camp of Parappa the Rapper- and Vib Ribbon-creator Masaya Matsuura came this innovative title, which takes a leaf out of Okami's book.
