  Greatest PSP game. Ever!

After playing for only a couple of hours, I'm pretty much convinced Loco Roco is the greatest PSP game, so far.

In case you're out of the loop, Loco Roco is like those wooden 3D puzzles with the tilting maze and a metal marble; but it's 2D, a video game and features a blob (instead of a ball) that's looks like a smiling plop of Jello.

So, why the over-excitement for this game? I guess it's because in the first 15 minutes of game play I laughed, out loud, about 20 times. I was actually filled with glee. When was the last time a game had that effect (on me or YOU)?

The controls are ridiculously simple: tilt the playing field to roll your Jello-guy over obstacles or split him into Jello shots (by striking him with lightning) to fit into tiny spaces. The surprises along the way, such as the sound effects, the voices, the trippy graphics and the absolutely insane music, make for a wonderful experience. It's artistic, relaxing and, above all, a blast.

It's why I only got four hours of sleep last night!

Post your thoughts!
