StrangleKatamariHold
Grapefruit Juice \| 2:52 PM on 08.16.2007	15 comments

Something Katamari: So I roll this thing around picking up stuff. No more fun or enjoyable then Boom Boom Rocket, or Geometry wars, or Tetris. But still a fine addition to your Xbox Live Arcade collection. What? $40? F U katamari.

Stranglehold: Wow Dead to Rights HD looks really good. But what happened to the dog and the cool dis-arms. Really though, when I'm half way thru a demo and I'm 99.99% sure I've seen everything a game has to offer - not good. Watch a double bill of the Killer and Hard Boiled better, It'll be a 100x more enjoyable/half the price/and the same length. 'Tequila time' seriously, 'Tequila time'?

i think you're throwing "epic" around pretty loosely there electro....they'll be fun but i'd be hard pressed to call them epic

Katamari is not full priced. It never has been.

$40 for Katamari is an awesome deal - there is no arguing that.

I dislike Grapefruit Juice... Alot. It just tastes bitter... BITTER LIKE THIS BLOG! :x

You're fired, if anything Stranglehold is nothing like Dead To Rights and more like Max Payne. Dead To Rights was a steaming pile, while Max Payne was actually a good series. In this case, I think Stranglehold is awesome because in the end it's basically Max Payne on crack.

Well and Katamari is Katamari. You either love it or you don't. For what it is, it's awesome and it's not gonna be full price. Just like all of the previous Katamari games, but I'm pretty sure by this blog you haven't played them either.

Oh and I agree with Lemon. This titles fit nicely in the epic category... Now gargatuan... That's a whole different category that I don't think these two are suited for. Stranglehold comes very close, but the demo never does a full game justice.

rule 1. never try to post a pic then go back and edit your blog; its already been posted. Oops! my bad.

"Epic"?? I can only assume Lemon youve never played any good games, ever.

@angels
yep, you do either 'love it or you dont'. Insightful.

i'm with lemon, katamari is a great game. I just wish the ps3 was getting it too. [just means i'll get it used, real cheap at a later date]. and stranglehold made it to my buy list for ps3. [but hard boiled helped a bunch]

...Katamari is for FRAT BOYS?!

I didn't enjoy the atranglehold demo much. The controls were pretty loose and chaotic, and the action started so intense that I felt pretty bored by it after ten minutes. Worth a rental though I expect!
