When Pool Hustlers Get Katamaris
Touch My Katamari is the wonderfully if slightly saucily named new Katamari Damacy game for the PS Vita. The game seems like your regular Katamari game, except you can “touch” your Katamari and make it get long or get skinny (which is significantly more saucy, but whatever). Anyways, I don’t even know how many of you still care about Katamari games after all this time, but I still recommend watching this delightfully bizarre video wherein a talented billiards player demonstrates the new game’s new mechanics through a few, uh… “tricks shots,” shall we say. It’s worth it, I promise.
