While I was out...Fat Princess

Let's continue with a few quick-hit reviews of the some games that came out while I was on "vacation". Next up is Fat Princess.

This is a PS3 / PSN exclusive game, and I've spent many hours "chasing cake".  I think it launched at $15, and it's had 2 free expansions since then.  If you haven't heard by now, this is basically a 'capture the flag' game.  The twist is that everyone is a little big-headed cartoon character in a medieval setting.  Oh, and the flag is a princess that you can make fatter by feeding her cake that sprouts out of the ground.

This game is an absolute blast to play, and the strategies can get surprisingly deep when you have two evenly matched teams going at it.  The most surprising thing about this game is the way it seems to get even PSN gamers (usually a very quiet bunch) to actually talk and strategize together.
