Replay – Katamari Damacy
The Game Informer crew takes a psychedelic trip into the work of Keita Takahashi in this mind-breaking episode of Replay.
Takahashi's junk-rolling simulator Katamari Damacy is the star of the show, and Andrew Reiner, Dan Tack, and I watch on in confused awe as Jeff Cork steamrolls all manner of office supplies, condiments, and nut-dragging rodents (don't worry, it will make sense...or not). Does Cork have what it takes to grow his garbage ball to child-smothering levels? You'll just have to watch to find out.
You may want to avert your eyes for our second segment, however. We take a look at another Takahashi offering that, despite its cutesy visuals, is disturbingly bizarre. Don't blame us if your dreams are haunted by stretchy worm-men tonight – you've been warned.
Stick around for our final segment, which takes a look at some not-so-classic Game Boy games.
