Critical Katamari

On a lighter note for the day, here's the beginnings of a critical review of Katamari Damacy. I don't know if it's (pardon me) critical that we critique games so in-depth, but it does a lot to prove that games area complex medium capable of narrative in several forms. Maybe if there were more "serious" critiques of games, like we see for films or other forms of artistic expression, it would be more obviously apparent.

Whatever you think, this is an interesting article - I learned a little bit about critique types and had fun exploring ideas for critiques of games. It's a little ridiculous, but that may be because we're not exactly used to taking this kind of approach when talking about games. I'll be waiting for the next parts!
