Oh Dear.

Ahhhh! It's happened again! No, I have not lost my mind. Yet. Once again I've become obsessed over a video game. But not just a video game, oh no! An amazingly wonderfully addicting video game: Katamari Damacy, of course.
Now for my non-readers that have no idea what this crazy lady's talking about: You're really missing something. Basically, the story is about an itty-bitty prince with a cylinder head and his dad, the all powerful, and just as cylinder headed, King of the Cosmos. So apparently, the prince's dad was drinking one night and ends up going on a rampage which ultimately destroys all the stars i the universe. How this is possible, I have no idea. But the prince ends up having to fix things simply because his dad makes him do it. Talk about good parenting.
Fortunately for the player, this makes things alot more interesting because in order to put all the stars back in the sky, you have to roll up anything and everything using an adhesive ball, called a Katamari. In most levels, you start out pretty small, around 10cm or 50cm. The goal for that level is to then roll up enough stuff (and seriously, when I say anything, I mean anything) to reach a set size, like 1m or 6m.
Not only is this game incredibly entertaining and challenging, it also comes with colorful graphics and addictive music. You've got to hand it to the japanese, they make odd but amazing video games.
Found in your local gaming store. :3
