2005 Sore Thumbs Awards -- Katamari Damacy (PS2) awarded Best Original Soundtrack

Advance summary of the 2005 Sore Thumbs Awards to street January 1, 2005

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) December 29, 2004 -- Konamis Playstation2 version of Katamari Damacy has been awarded with Best Original Soundtrack in the 2005 Sore Thumbs Awards: The wack craziest Japanese game of the year (rainbow-robed God accidentally knocks all the stars out of the sky; you rebuild them by rolling up balls of sticky garbage) with the wack craziest soundtrack of the year -- what more could you possibly want? Just the opening movie, featuring God on acoustic guitar and a choir of ducks on backing vocals, is worth the $20 admission. In the buffet table of life, Katamari Damacy serves up thick slabs of fried psychedelia smothered in thick J-pop gravy. Thats good eatin."

Also recognized in the Best Original Soundtrack category was Sawaru Made in Wario (Nintendo) for Nintendo DS.

Sawaru Made in Wario ...proves that handheld games need no longer sound like handheld games with an unexpectedly robust and fun score." (excerpted from the full text)
