No sooner did I type that than a guy who looked like Bill from Kill Bill two booths up bailed, exposing a fresh outlet. Yoink! Gimme gimme that sweet sweet electric.



I beat Katamari Damacy last night. Yes, it took me only three play sessions. I still can't recommend it enough to the intersection of [people with PS2s] and [people who like me]. I throw in the latter because I figure that anyone who can stand my company has the sense of humor to fully appreciate this game as well.

I will probably keep playing it for a while, since it's structured to encourage replay; the individual stages are perfectly episodic, with no carry-over of inventory or stats or anything, so you can replay them in any order you please, as often as you like. The game remembers the best score (more precisely, the largest diameter) you achieved in each stage, and naturally there are little treats and unlockables sprinkled around for experinced players to find when revisiting places.

It's just a great game, especially for only $20.

This game looks gorgeous, a PS2 platformer that uses cel-shaded techniques to make its whole world look like a traditional Japanese painting. Except with more combo attacks.
