We Love Katamari (PS2)

In the present-day age of gaming in which corporate conglomerates such as Electronic Arts have all but guaranteed that the only way today's games can truly fly off the shelves is by developers sticking to what they know will sell, last year's Katamari Damacy came out and proved that innovation and uniqueness can still exist despite seemingly becoming a lost art at a rapid rate. The ball-rolling puzzle sim took the gaming world by storm with its hilarious nature, funny characters, and unique design. And now, we're treated to Katamari Damacy's wonderful sequel. In the last Katamari Damacy, the King of All Cosmos became an icon for his work in returning the stars ...  Read the complete review

We Love Katamari - Brought from eBay (£15ish) We Love Katamari is the sequel to the much loved Katamari Damacy. And what a sequel it is. The game begins with the prince in the meadows and you are immediately pounced on by fans who want you to help them out.

If you have a Playstation 2, you probably own a copy of either Katamari game. This game is basically the same as the other Katamari games. It's still amazingly fun, though, and the accelerator controls makes it even funner. Your goal in the game is to roll a sticky ball onto stuff you find on the ground, such as cats, pencils or even Mahjong bricks and get them stuck to your ball. As you roll over things, your ball gets even bigger and after a while, you have a big enough ball, you can roll over a human being and pick him or her up. After making your katamari ball big enough, you beat the level. This game is extremely weird, yet it's one of the best, or ...  Read the complete review
