Katamari Damacy Brings Object Conglomeration To U.S. Gamers

Thanks to IGN PS2 for relaying the news that Namco has confirmed bizarre PlayStation 2 'object conglomeration' videogame Katamari Damacy for U.S. release, as it's officially "due out on [North American] store shelves this September." The article explains of the previously featured PS2 title, thought "very unlikely" to get a U.S. release at the time: "Your father, the great king, has inadvertently eliminated the stars from the sky and it's your job as his son to clean up the mess that he's created. To do so, players become a sticky rolling mass that can collect objects and items from all over the world" - a review of the Japanese version at Game Science explains gameplay further.

I wish /. wouldn't post so many "XXX has announced that YYY will be released in only ZZZ months time!!!" articles. Pretty much the only responses are "cool" or "whatever, that game sucks". The game is still not available to people, so what's the friggin point?

There are hundreds of games that are available RIGHT NOW, and many of them are very good. Even if (gasp!) namco has nothing to do with them. How about some coverage of all the readily available indie games? There are plenty of great ones out there, and they mostly get very little press.
