While the debate rages over whether We Love Katamari is actually a good game or not (hint: it is), here's something for confirmed fans. Students on a fascinating-sounding course entitled, Making Toys: The Insides and Outsides of Electronic Toy Design, running at the Parsons School of Design in New York, have created a competitive Katamari game that uses RC cars, velcro and plush toys. You can see a video of the project in action here and also read more about its development.
If Tony Blair is really serious about education reform he should consider replicating this course and putting it on the syllabus of every school in the country.
