Prince of Persia - Sand of Time (Final Entry)
Well, I beat the game. The ending was amazing but I don't want to spoil it for anyone. Suffice it to say the ending was worth the 7 and a half hours I put into beating the game, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys puzzles or gymnastics.
There was only one puzzle that I couldn't really figured out and I only got past it by brute force logic (a.k.a. I tried every possible door).
Also the final boss was extremely weak, and after spending so much time getting to him, I felt a little cheated when I beat him without using anything but my sword.

Katamari Damacy (Second Entry)
I realized that I left some crucial information out of my first post. The lack of any auto save after levels and before quiting is something I find myself wishing was in more games. But now that I have come across such a feature, it is difficult to break old habits of expecting it to ask if I want to save before quiting. When I played this game for the first time, I forgot to save after completing the first 4 stars. So I had to restart from the second star. This is and the fact that it was 3 in the morning and my head was starting to hurt from lack of sleep are the main reasons I got bored when playing the fourth star for the second time. Also the game is just too overpowering to the senses. So much COLOR!!
My second session was a lot more interesting. What I previously thought were 'bonus' levels, turned out to be part of the main game play. These levels consisted of the creation of a constellation by rolling up specific objects such as crabs for cancer. I have not yet failed a level, but I am hoping the difficulty will increase at some point. I have finally figured out the controls although I still have some difficulty with the charge.
I also managed to complete a level to the king's satisfaction, and somehow created a comet. I'm not entirely sure how it happened, if anyone has any insight I would appreciate it. But for now I plan to finish Prince of Persia.

Katamari Damacy (First Entry)
I started this game pretty late last night, and found some of the controls confusing, I can't really get the charged spin to work. But I'm getting ahead of myself. This game is a Japanese game that doesn't really make any sense. The King of the Cosmos got piss drunk and destroyed all the stars. As his son it is your duty to make new stars by rolling the object around that picks up items smaller than it.
For each star, the king transports you to a house on Earth, where you roll around picking up tacks and coins, then and candy, and then cards, and then forks, then cats and dogs, until in some levels you can even pick up humans.
After the fourth star I got bored of the colorful graphics and repetitive songs. I'm not particularly fond of the controls, but I find the King's random tirades hilarious.

As the game progresses, the puzzles become slightly more difficult, and the enemies are starting to get annoying. Before any enemy could be easily dispatched by jumping up and over it, and attacking from behind in the air, but now the creatures are larger and keep knocking me down when I attempt this stunt. But you unlock a new power that freezes every enemy in the room and you speed around slashing them to bits.
The game is almost over and I must say while the story is keeping up a good pace, the game play is lacking. Nothing has changed from the first fight. Although I got a new sword that breaks through weak walls, I don't think I kill enemies any faster. Well I am about 85% through the game, (it tells you in the save/load data) so it makes sense that I am getting impatient with the lack of change. I think I'm going to try to finish it tonight.
