As as sword enthusiast and video gamer, the Kingdom Key is one of the coolest swords you can possibly have (next to an Assassin’s Creed hidden blade and The Master Sword). Of all the replicas I’ve seen though, nothing has ever looked this authentic or this badass. Seriously, sharpening the ward to basically make the …

Due to the nature of this article, there might be some spoilers for all Kingdom Hearts games. Last week I spent the day at Disneyland in southern California, and something hit me. Since Disney has just acquired Lucasfilms, nothing in the park is really outside of Disney’s domain including Star Tours and Indiana Jones …

Even though a lot of video game music is orchestrated already, nothing beats listening to old music (like this one from Wind Waker) finally orchestrated or just hearing it live (not really this case). Which is why you should really check out this album. It has music from classics like Sonic the Hedgehog, Zelda, and …

Remember when the PlayStation 3 had a PS2 inside of it, so you can play those PS2 games you love so much like Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts 2? Remember how well into the PS3 life cycle, Square Enix released Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories in America for the PS2 (if I remember correctly, it …

Dearly Beloved was always a great song from the Kingdom Hearts series, and it always reflected a kind of light in the darkness type of feeling. This jazz improvisation does it, but somehow adds more darkness and more hope to the mix, and less of a sad feeling, but more lonely. Of course, then it …

Kingdom Hearts has a been one of the action RPG series to play for the last 10 years. It is a mixture of innovative ideas and appealing storylines which is one part what makes it such a great series, even though in theory, this franchise should have crashed and burned upon conception. With that in …

Another interesting article on Gamasutra talking about the main difference between Japanese and Western developers being realistic animation. This is of course very simplified, at least I think so, but I do have to agree that if there was just one simple thing that can be pinpointed as the difference, it would be something …

You know what sucks? Liking Kingdom Hearts. It just doesn’t make any sense. It’s a game that is built on the stupidest of premises, and yet, for some unfathomable reason it has a huge following and is brilliant on multiple levels. I rarely meet two people who like the Kingdom Hearts series for the same …

In the last couple of weeks since Kingdom Hearts 3D came out, I’ve read from various message boards and news sites people once again talking about the series and when 3 is coming out. In these discussions, the concept of spin-off games is often brought up, being games that expand the story but otherwise aren’t …

This is pretty awesome. I love this arrangement and it is probably the best rock version of a Kingdom Hearts song that I’ve ever heard. Be sure to check out out 331Erock’s website and YouTube for some more metal versions of songs like the theme to Indiana Jones and the theme from Back to the …

Get More: GameTrailers.com, Kingdom Hearts 3D – Flowmotion Trailer HD, PC Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 Hey. Do you have a 3DS? Have you not downloaded the Kingdom Hearts Demo? No? Why not!?! One problem I’ve had with the Kingdom Hearts games is that outside of combat, moving has been slow and maddening, especially when …

Woot. Nintendo Direct had a lot of cool 3DS information and I honestly can’t wait for more. Some initial thoughts: – 3DS XL seems like an odd choice. For one, it hasn’t been too long since the 3DS came out and dropped its price. It just seems to be going by so fast. – Fire …

Finally I can get an idea for what the story of this game is going to be like. I really can’t wait, I know a lot of people are really excited for this game, and I’m definitely one of them. At the same time, I know a lot of people are frustrated about no Kingdom …

The best thing about a fighting game is that it’s the ultimate way for someone to prove that their favorite character is better than another person’s. When dealing with franchise based fighting games, it also serves as a tribute to that franchise. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is filled to the brim with little references to …

Sometimes those who do video game fan art really impress me. They have all this talent, that sometimes I think they shouldn’t be wasting it on video game fan art. But who am I to tell people how to use their talents? Especially when it involves a hobby we all love. No artist though …
