Katamari Damacy Turns 20
Paste Magazine has a piece up on Namco's seminal Playstation 2 game Katamari Damacy turning 20. It's still one of those titles that has the power to attract attention when they see it played, especially if they've never heard of it before.

Katamari Damacy REROLL

Hacía mucho tiempo que no jugaba a un videojuego tan bueno y que además irradiase de originalidad.

Keita Takahashi tenía la idea de hacer que el jugador se divierta y se sienta bien jugando. Siendo un juego con el objetivo de hacer protesta a los videojuegos mainstream con elementos violentos.

El juego es una maravilla, los controles son sencillos, los niveles muy divertidos y la música de lo mejor que he oído porque tiene una de las mejores bandas sonoras que he oído en mi vida.
