This Week's Videogames Charts: Rugby and Winter Sports on the up

Nobody's going to pay full price for a puzzle game, nobody cares how clever it is, it just won't sell. We want titles with more action, not ones that look like they'd be at home on Nickelodeon...

gawd! Please tell me you're joking? People like you are the reason why no-one makes any decent games any more.

Although cant help but feel something as good as that would be better off on a nintendo console where people appreciate quality, as opposed to endless fps/racing games.

I love Katamari. I was just playing it now, and it took every once of will power in my body to tear myself away long enough to...

This is a widespread problem in the SPOnG office at the moment. I have a feeling that, when the big hand next strokes six (that's 1730 for those with digital chronometers), we'll be fighting over the joypads.

Currently I kick Mr Floppy's ass in the two-player games, the big antipodean sissy ;)

Just because a game has zombies, cars, guns etc. doesn't mean it isn't original. The only people who will pay £30-£35 for Katamari are people who know what it is, and want a puzzle game. Anyone else seeing a game case that looks like it's been drawn by a child - I don't care if it's Japanese art style or whatever the hell it's meant to look like - will not pick it up, it's not worth the risk. I've played Katamari and don't see what all the fuss is about, I didn't find it addictive or compelling at all, it was just rolling a ball around collecting items.

Games are two expensive. People will not take the risk of buying something they are not sure they will like or even enjoy for £40.

If there is a game I'm not sure I'll like I wait for it to turn up in the second hand section for £20 or less.

I know lots of people who do this, especially older people.
