If you've got a girlfriend and you plan on keeping her, there are certain things a man should not do. He shouldn't discuss and/or display his flair for farting the opening bars of "The Greatest American Hero" theme song. He shouldn't leave her alone with Tommy Lee under any circumstances. And he should not let her near LocoRoco. The game tells the story of an orange blob with a cute face on it. Using your PSP's shoulder buttons, you tilt the world of the game and make the blob roll around. The blob can do other things, too, like leap into the air (but not very high; remember, it's a goddamn blob), and split into a dozen little blobs. Girls practically pee themselves over this game. But the cute visuals, soundtrack, and gameplay will either bring out the closet Project Runway–fan in male gamers, or else make them projectile vomit on their PSPs a la Robert Downey, Jr. during a NyQuil relapse.
