Yeah, I seen all the hype about GoW3 and then I seen this post over at Destructoid:

Yesterday was a huge day for PS3 owners. We were finally able to get a long, good look at God of War III (http://www.destructoid.com/god-of-war-iii-teaser-trailer-121556.phtml), as well as hear all about how the game will play (http://www.destructoid.com/preview-god-of-war-iii-121446.phtml). Great news... if you like God of War. I, for one, never really cared for the series. They're well-made games and all, but the amount of racism against skeletons they contain is just too much for my delicate sensibilities.
That doesn't mean that yesterday wasn't still a huge day for me and my PS3. Over on the official PlayStation blog, we got a post by the creator of Noby Noby Boy, a PSN game that looks to be everything that God of War III isn't: low-tech, funny, and most of all, surreal. Where God of War III is a game that can easily be described as "S'more God of War," Noby Noby Boy is apparently "a game that cannot be expressed by words in the first place," "an undefined and ambitious game" that will leave players saying, "I don't know why, but it’s somehow interesting. I can't stop playing."
The true sign of a console's maturity is how many types of gamers it caters to, and if you ask me, having Noby Noby Boy and God of War III on the same console is about as mature as you can get. You can read more of Keita Takahashi's thoughts on his game here (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/02/13/noby-noby-boy-is/), but be prepared to not know what the hell he's talking about.
This is the game I would have a PS3 to play :D

I'm not even sure what I just watched.

Yeah, it's like the first video of Katamari I watched. OK, it's a little crazier than even that.

I think that video just wirelessly uploaded shrooms to my brain.

So I wasn't alone?

Yeah, I'm definitely buying it... It's only 5 or 10 bucks...

Oh no. Save me a seat, I am right there with you guys.

Very interested though. I loved Katamari Damacy, We Love Katamari, etc, etc....and this looks to be quite similar.

I think I'll give this a try. :D

Yeah, this is definitely very odd. It's nearly pointless, yet bizarrely addicting.

Game looks amazing. I watched a whole bunch of videos with my almost wife last night. The trees are my favorite thing and she loves the clouds.

When I can afford a PS3, you can bet your ass I'm fucking getting Noby Noby Boy.
