Replay – Katamari Damacy
The Game Informer crew takes a psychedelic trip into the work of Keita Takahashi in this mind-breaking episode of Replay.
Takahashi's junk-rolling simulator Katamari Damacy is the star of the show, and Andrew Reiner, Dan Tack, and I watch on in confused awe as Jeff Cork steamrolls all manner of office supplies, condiments, and nut-dragging rodents (don't worry, it will make sense...or not). Does Cork have what it takes to grow his garbage ball to child-smothering levels? You'll just have to watch to find out.
You may want to avert your eyes for our second segment, however. We take a look at another Takahashi offering that, despite its cutesy visuals, is disturbingly bizarre. Don't blame us if your dreams are haunted by stretchy worm-men tonight – you've been warned.
Stick around for our final segment, which takes a look at some not-so-classic Game Boy games.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
