Capcom Ōkami Collaboration Helping Restore Tsunami-Struck Town, and So Can You

Playstation 2 and Wii owners will likely be familiar with Ōkami, the adventure game set in ancient Japan that features an absolutely gorgeous wood-cut, cell-shaded graphic design.

In any case, check the link after the jump and be warned that it does contain gore and ridiculous amounts of clickable “Don’t Click” buttons.
