Now the past few months I have been playing the more mature, gruesome and to be honest, the more morbid and frightening games which are every increasingly growing in popularity – things like Fallout 3, Grand Theft Auto IV and Halo. This past week or so I have decided to take a break from that norm and go down a different route, so I dug my PS2 out and started to re-play the classic Kingdom Hearts (KH). Ever since my [...]
Kingdom Hearts is one of my favourite series, comprising so far of two main titles, and three handheld – Birth By Sleep being the latest of the latter. While KH1 and 2 were great games, the handheld titles (Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days) felt as though they lacked as individual games – they were playable, of course, and enjoyable in some aspects, but mainly they worked as components that fleshed out the Kingdom Hearts backstory and more than likely [...]
After the initial release and success of Kingdom Hearts, it has been a rapidly growing franchise – initially followed by the fairly quiet GBA title Chain of Memories, it wasn’t quite so apparent how successful the series was until it was followed up by the equally amazing sequel, Kingdom Hearts II. A master at annoyingly tantalising cliffhangers, Tetsuya Nomura and his band of miscreants have never failed to want me aching for more – each game feeling so complete before [...]
When I was younger, Disney cartoons were one of my favourite things to watch – the fantastic animation, characters and beautiful worlds they involved. However, as I got older, these worlds and characters seemed to get further away - although the fond memories were there, it felt as though I had to leave them behind – like Peter Pan wanting to refuse to grow up and abandon the old joys of the past. However, then came a saviour from the past [...]

Kingdom Hearts was a game that initially sounded incredibly strange – a fusion of Square-Enix characters and Disney. Although like many I didn’t take a huge interest at the concept originally, playing it opened my eyes to the true potential, and I fell in love with its worlds and characters, it soon becoming one of my favourite games. With such a famous cast including characters such as Cloud, Squall, The Beast and Hades – you’d think that it would be [...]
This year, I’ve felt that the good game releases have been very sparse, few titles actually giving me any genuine interest or excitement. However, lately there has been a huge influx of gaming news that have peaked my interest, although sadly most of them wont be released until next year or possibly even later. Anyway, here’s a round up of what I’m looking forward to, and when the current release dates are scheduled for. Let me also point out the [...]
I have breifly touched on this subject in a previouse post. Just to recap, when it comes to role playing games there are only a few that really get me hooked and i play through to the end. I love rpg games but in my opinion there are not many out there that keep me entertained for long enough to f
