Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss games I’ve played that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I generally sell a game that I’ve finished, so the only reason I keep one is because I plan to replay the game some day. Classifying a game as a “keeper” is generally a badge of merit.

It’s an old game, and there have been many sequels, but I still really love the original Katamari Damacy despite the fact that I’ve never managed to complete the game.

Katamari Damacy has the same kind of simple addictive qualities as Pac Man. But instead of dodging ghosts, you’re racing against a time limit. Perhaps if I’d managed to perfect that dash move, I’d be able to get past the level that’s stymied me for years.
