Cover Story: You better believe we love Katamari ... but we liked it better the first time around. Don't get me wrong, this sequel is fine, but without the original director this game just feels like a rehash of the first game. Where are the quirky new modes and bizarre new levels? This is just a retread of what we've seen before, and that's a major disappointment. What isn't a major disappointment, though, is this fourth issue of Hardcore Gamer Magazine!

Reviews: Death Jr., Nintendogs, Pump It Up, Madden NFL 06, NHL 06, Sigma Star Saga, Pac N Roll, Radiata Stories, Darkwatch, and more!

Special Features: This month's Hardcore Gamer Magazine has all the usual goodness, including a look at the arcade scene, import reviews, fan art and much more!
