Editorial: Roll ‘Em Up.

katamariKatamari. Despite a curious lack of hamsters, I love this game. What isn’t to love, really? Katamari features colorful, beautifully developed and engaging levels, interesting up-beat music and is not particularly demanding on one’s time. It really is, everything I could want in a game.

The newest installment in the series, Katamari Forever, will be released on the PS3 tomorrow. If you have not played the free demo, you should, and perhaps you’ll be convinced (as I was) that this is worth picking up. It brings to mind my most frustrating Katamari moment: the fire level in the Xbox 360 version. I never could quite keep my katamari’s temperature hot enough.

So, Katamari, love it or hate it?
