You Must Love Katamari Damacy

1up.com has a feature up discussing their deep and abiding love for Katamari Damacy and its sequel. From the article: "The original Katamari Damacy is to many the best example of innovation the game industry has seen in years. It's not easy to define, it doesn't use traditional game mechanics, and it's a game where the music and the feeling of playing are as important as the objective. You roll a ball around, it picks stuff up as you go, and it's a swell time. But to hear game director Keita Takahashi describe it, the concept of "fun" comes before 'innovation.'"

" No, I haven't played Nintendogs or Animcal crossing. I'm a straight male, thanks."

You must not be very confident in that last part if this is your reason for not even giving them a chance... :P

On odd days we hear about the innovativeness of Katamari Damacy, on even days we hear about women and games.

It's a pretty simple system.
