For that cheap, who cares if it ends quickly? Just so long as it's fun during the time it lasts I'll be happy.

Somebody buy that man the narcotic substance of his choice!

Bleh, emailed Namco and they replied with the bad news (to me) that this isn't gonna get a PAL release. Boo to them I say!

It's then that I discovered Tom Bramwell's import review over at Eurogamer. Toward the end of his article his succinctly summarizes Katamari: "...what sums Katamari Damacy's appeal up for me is the sense of unbridled joy bursting from every pore. It's the happiest game I've ever played, and the happiness is infectious." And there's really no better way of saying it.

Katamari Damacy is happiness in a box. It has shortcomings, from being short and all, but it's something...Something that has every editor in this office clamoring to get their hands on it. Something that has them all humming and whistling the game's many songs. Something that forces them to see a giant Katamari barreling over the Bay Bridge as they drive up the 101. It's something that's fun, something that's happy, and something that's so well put together and so enjoyable, whatever faults it may have fade behind the laughter and smiles it so effortlessly creates.

He thinks he's alone in his loving of the game?

After every review site and message board are spolooging all over it?

EGM's reviews of it are fantastic, definitely reaffirming what I'm thinking this game is all about - having fun.
