The Trippiest Video Game Levels

Surreal stages, events, or gameplay that somehow just don’t fit have always been present, and even expected. Their crazy graphics, weird aesthetics and ideas make sure that we have absolutely no idea what’s going on. But they have their charm, they are funny, or they’re simply part of the experience — and so we love them.


Why I Buy Weird Games

I really like weird games. Cubivore. Katamari Damacy. Guitarooman. As a gamer, some of my favourite experiences are the weirdest ones out there. When I go to the store or preorder games, I preferentially choose the weird ones; the runts of the litter, the ones that people don’t play that often.

Katamari Damacy Gets New Shape-Shifting Controls With Vita Release

Katamari Damacy is just a working title, but frankly it’s as good as any for the version of the game soon to arrive on PlayStation Vita. Namco Bandai announced today that the venerable roll-em-up will get a Vita release on an unspecified date, and will take advantage of the new handheld’s touch-pad controls.


Run A Katamari All Over This (and Any) Site

Are you browsing this page on Google Chrome right now? Well, you’re going to want to. Some saint of a coder has developed an utterly delightful hack that rolls up all of a Web page’s text and pictures, Katamari-style.


Would You Like Some Katamari Art?

Namco’s Katamari Damacy is an iconic title. People instantly recognise it. This makes Katamari perfect fodder for an art show. Yes, an art show.


Monster Runaway Star Rampages Through Universe

30 Dor 016 is a star 90 times the size of our sun, ejected from its home, moving through space at a speed of 402,336km/h. Anyone lose the plot to an epic science-fiction video game?


Speak Now, Or Forever Hold Your Na Nahh Na Na Na Na Nahh Na Nahhs

Aidra and Ernest loved each other very, very much. So much that they got married. But it wasn’t just any old wedding! It was one the King of the Cosmos would see fit to berate from on high.
