Bayonetta

I love the whimsy and wonder that a Japanese PS3 game can evoke by bringing together familiar elements in an unfamiliar way. A child's eyes are always wide with the wonders of a new and interesting world, but to inspire that same sense of wonder in those who are already familiar with a great many things requires no small amount of imagination, talent, and artistry. All three of these things appear to have have been brought together in Sega's 3D action title Bayonetta.
