Katamari Damacy

This is perhaps the strangest game ever thought up in the fevered dreams of the mad Japanese. Most great works are the product of madness however, and Katamari Damacy is definitely a great work.

What you do with this game is roll a ball that picks things up, making the ball bigger, until you run out of time, at which point if it is large enough your dear old dad, the King of All Cosmos, will turn it into a star to replace one of the ones he destroyed while, ahem, "Happy".

The quirkiness of this title is what makes it great, the description of "rolling stuff up" does not do justice to the "up till 3am" fun of this game. The vast range of items to roll up, well designed play mechanics and, cartoonish atmosphere, amazing soundtrack, not to mention delightfully bizzaro cut scenes, make this a game everyone should play at least once.

I give it my highest rating yet, 5 thumbs up, and 10 rolled up balls of stuff!
