It was love at first sight. We do love Katamari; in fact, we loved Namco's Katamari Damacy from the moment we set eyes on it. Our initial burst of enthusiasm for the bonkers concept, which made us giddy like teenagers and curled something in the pits of our stomachs with excitement as the arrival date of our import gaming care package loomed, settled into a contented and affectionate long-term relationship in which the spark never died. Katamari never ceased to surprise us during the courtship, and even when we'd seen all of its best tricks - even when we'd let out those little moans of pleasure at discovering that thing it could do where it let you roll up entire islands - familiarity never bred contempt, and we were happy to come back to Katamari on a regular basis for more of the same comfortable, psychedelic madness.

Following its Xbox Summit event in Japan late last week, Microsoft has released a full list of games shown at the event.

Like most people, we've long wished we had our very own superpower. It wouldn't even have to be a very good one, like flight or invisibility or laser eyes or any of that nonsense. We'd settle for the ability to tie our shoelaces just by thinking about it, for example, or stop cups of tea from going cold, or make the digibox receive an uninterrupted signal for more than seven minutes at a time.
