Sam and I stop playing games to talk about not playing games.I appreciate Sam's help in reminding all of us who Christopher Lee is and why you should be worshiping him.Aside from that, it's nice to have a Disney movie tie into the main thread in a way that makes sense without feeling too much like...

Today, we start to get into some of the more confusing aspects of Kingdom Hearts.I love the way they leverage the fact that Tron exists in a computer system in order to write the scenario. The way they smartly link it back into the main scenario through the protagonist's quest for answers was a...

Finally, we're back to talking about story content.It's actually pretty amazing that, after the original Kingdom Hearts, Kairi has a huge problem with almost completely ceasing to be relevant to the plot. Even though she spent most of the first game in a state of limbo, she still does contribute to...

Let's get back to that movie plot!Not much Kingdom Hearts to talk about while we watch The Lion King...

And now, we leave the worst level in the game to go to the worst filler level in the game.This world is another example of how the game just blatantly copy/pastes the story of the movie, and jury-rigs Sora, Donald, and Goofy into the mix as Mary Sues that solve all of the problems.For that reason,...

From one of my favorite level, to what is easily my least favorite....It's amazing how quickly I can go from singing this game's praises to groaning at how bad it is. Atlantica is, if anything, a microcosm for all that is wrong with Kingdom Hearts 2.While easy and otherwise inoffensive, there's...

I love this world so MUCH!There's just so much to love here. If only it could last a little bit longer.

This is Hollow... CHRISTMAS!Please note that between the time we recorded this footage, and now, I have actually sat down to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas for the first time. When this was made, I had not seen the film.Someone in the Square Enix offices is obviously a huge fan of The...

Welcome to my personal hell.I hate this world with a blinding, fevered passion. If you want a preview of my big problems with Atlantica, you can read about it in my post from way back in the day.I touch on it here, but in truth we'll need to wait until we come back a few times before I can really...

We skip Timeless River in favor of Port Royal instead.When Sam and I talk about this game's tendency to just recycle the stories from the movies they source from, this world is one of the worst offenders. Not only is this the same exact story, but it's also the same shot more often than not. On top...
