Katamari Damacy in 5th annual game developers choice awards
{embed="video-games/dpadz-ads"}Here’s the final “kid” related item for the day. No mas. What games do developers like? IGDA will let it all out on March 9th. This is where game developers choose the best of their peers. So where does the kid angle come in? Two words null. KD is nominated in the best game category. Who would have thought rolling a big ball of garbage around would be so much fun? Actually it harkens back to old skool 80’s addictive gaming. Simple to get into, loads of replayability. Universal appeal. Even bad santa who has never been a kid will like it.
