noby noby boy!

Quite a mouthful of a name, this Playstation network exclusive will drop in Japan on 1/29 and is the latest game from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi. If you're not familiar with Katamari it centers around rolling stuff up into a ball to make it bigger, or so I've been told. I've never actually played it and since this new one is just for PS3 I may not get a chance to try it either but the ESRB's magical description of it really does make me want to try it. The few preview screenshots online look simple and beautiful and I looove the color scheme on the snake thing. It does sound a lot like KD but still hilarious and definitely not like many other games currently on the market:
This is a puzzle game in which players control a large snake-like creature whose objective is to grow by gobbling up objects (e.g., mailboxes, small animals, houses, etc.). Players advance in the game by growing the creature as big as possible and then reporting its length to a character in space. Consumed objects sometimes pop out of the snake's rear end, making a comical "splat" sound.
