Me Japanese Toy I Love You
The preview for Japanese videogame Beautiful Katamari (coming to the Xbox and Wii) is so bizarre that I had to watch it three times in a row. Far as I can tell, the game has something to do with rolling a giant ball onto various objects — but I’m too distracted by the Japanese child narrator and the trippy visuals to notice or care.

In Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari (both for the PS2), you roll a ball around to collect various objects which stick to it. Your goal is to build-up the ball to a certain size before the time limit. Afterward each ‘level’, the king shoots them up into the sky to create new stars and replenish the heavens. The game play, music, graphics and narration are great, surreal fun.
