Have a ball with hand-held 'Katamari'

One of the most quirky and beloved video game series in recent memory has rolled its way onto the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP).

Namco's "Katamari" franchise for the Sony PlayStation 2, which includes 2004's "Katamari Damacy" and 2005's "We Love Katamari," made its mobile debut Tuesday with "Me and My Katamari."

For the uninitiated, these cult favorites star an inch-high alien, the prince, who is sent to Earth to collect stuff for his dad, the King of All Cosmos, by rolling items into a sticky clump, or katamari. Your goal is to amass objects into a growing snowball-like katamari by first rolling over small items, such as thumbtacks, playing cards and erasers, and then larger ones, including pets, people and cars.

"Me and My Katamari" retains the peculiar charm of its award-winning predecessors.
