sometimes, an idea for a game can seem so random, that everyone will either claim the game is a failure and never play it or think of it as a fun new experience that they have to try out.

Okami / Wolf for PlayStation 2

$26.00 Est. at Amazon

from onionhead2001, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: a shockingly successful take on the zelda formula, okami braves a new trail with visual flair and a unique "paint the world" mechanic.

in a country where sequels and industry trends rule with iron fists- this fresh new take on gaming is welcomed whole heartedly.

Katamari Damacy

$13.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the second game has newer levels and, well, thats about it.
from www.amazon.com
the multiplayer is pretty bland, but katamari damacy 2 is going to improve it with a new cooperative mode where players each control one analog stick and pick things up.
from www.amazon.com
i love it just as much as we love kaktamari, it's an original game that anyone can play, and amazon had the best price for it new as a package deal
from www.amazon.com
controls.the original game always freezes up on my x-box after playing it for 15-30 minutes, and it does not save high scores.the new game is a very mediocre mix between a driving game and a shooter.
from www.amazon.com
while the basic premise of rolling around a "katamari" to pick up junk to make new stars for the sky seems a little stupid (and more than a little drug-induced), it's all in the execution.

the cameras, like any other game of this type (save silent hill 2) are perplexing at times, but it often corrects itteslf by moving about 2 feet futher, and a new camera angle ensues.
