Got Game

I always go in these little spurts (no, no, not that kind; keep it clean) of getting really into video games.  To my chagrin, my roommate decided to plug in the playstation...I didn't resist, mind you.  Luckily, I've been too busy to play, but it has gotten me to start thinking about gaming again.  In thinking of my favorite games, my two favorites are Katamari Damacy and Ico.  Both of them aren't standard video game formats and perhaps that's why I like them so much.  The developers of Ico did a really great job of making a simple game but one that captures your attention.  I remember actually gasping and standing bolt upright during several parts of Ico (I totally won't mention the time when I got all teary-eyed during the game, that would be so lame if people knew).  In investigating these games today, I realized that the makers of Ico are developing a new game called Shadow of the Colossus with a great review in Wired this month.  It's strange, I'm thirty years old and yet video games still seem to capture my attention.  Yeah, I'm living the dream.

Whatever happened to those charmin commercials where kids would pad themselves with the toilet paper?
