I started playing El Shaddai.
It's quite, uh, something.
From what I gather, you're a man sent by God to the ancient Earth to break into a spatial rift which houses seven fallen angels and their human worshippers, in a tower surrounded by a city. The angels apparently loved Earth too much, and their human-crossbreeding has resulted in Nephilim, cutesy fluffy non-entities who feel nothing but pain at their aberrant existence. They eventually grow large and devour each other, transforming into gigantic shadowy monstrous creatures that will eventually destroy the Earth.
And also your best friend is Lucifel who is constantly talking on his mobile with God.
It's a very pretty game though! Also the combat is simple and fun, and the abstract style means it doesn't look samey at all.
