Okami is like an award-winning ninja. Just when other developers think their game finally has a chance to win something, Okami pops up again out of nowhere and snatches the award.

A jury of five game-industry staff at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival in Edinburgh, UK, has just awarded Okami with the Edge Award, meaning it was their favorite game of the year.

Incidentally, two Capcom games were in the running among the final eight, with Dead Rising being the other Capcom title.

Maybe if we gave it enough awards, someone up there will decide to make a sequel or port it to the Wii?
