Always dreamed of playing one of the weirdest puzzle game to come out of Japan on your Windows Phone 7 device? Today’s your lucky day because I Love Katamari has just been released as an Xbox Live enabled game on Windows Phone 7 for the relatively high price of $6.99 (it’s $4.99 on iOS). Describing I Love Katamari isn’t really so I will just leave you with the official description of the game (which is exactly the same as the iOS description..) or you could just hit wikipedia for the full history of the game which started back with the original Katamari Damacy released on the PS2:

The King of All Cosmos has accidentally knocked all stars out of the sky during a night out. It is up to the pint sized Prince to put the twinkle back in the heavens in I love Katamari. I love Katamari delivers an experience only possible on Windows Phone 7.

The gameplay is simple! Tilt your windows Phone 7 to roll your Katamari with precision. Roll the Katamari ball over various objects in each stage. As more and more objects are rolled up, your katamari will increase in size and it becomes possible to roll-up larger objects.

Just head over to the Xbox Live section of the Marketplace to grab the trial version here.
