We Love Katamari
Roll up cows, bears, campfires, sumo wrestlers, you name
it, in this surreal Namco sequel to a classic puzzler that is in a category

to free a princess from death's hand. Easy, no? Monstrous adversaries
in sublimely rendered environments are the hallmarks of this original and

Japanese hit. more
Beyond Good and Evil

and a combination of adventure, puzzle, and stealth elements. Armed only

and some nifty martial arts moves, your heroine Jade combats an alien conspiracy. more

Let's play! Says the Namco narrator as you square
off against your buddies in drumming deathmatches to renditions of Toxic,

Fable
Elegant RPG/action adventure set in a mythical kingdom gone awry. Beautiful
