Truthful Videogame Boxes

Does "Katamari Damacy" really translate to "Magically Adhesive Ball of Garbage"? Maybe it should -- at least you'd know what you're getting.

Imagine the tears and effort that would be spared if your local Gamestop carried games that truthfully declaimed their content, such as Fanboy Bullshit VII and Roster Update NFL 2006.

Thanks for that link...much better titles.........Can I suggest Counterhack as opposed to Counterstrike? Never played that one, but from what i hear of the servers..... ;-)

Oh, don't misunderstand -- I love Katamari Damacy. It's one of the few games me and The Boyfriend have played to the end.

It's just frustrating trying to explain to someone what the game is, and "magically adhesive ball of garbage" (or sumo wrestlers, or office buildings) is a tad more descriptive, if unlovely. :)

And I'm convinced the developers were high as the proverbial kites when they *made* it, too...
