Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer Impressions

Well, I recently watched the new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3. It is not the one at the end of KH2. It is new and comes at the end of KH2 Final Mix, which is only available In Japan. Anyway the new trailer shows a continuation from the previous one. It starts off as the other trailer then changes. The three soldiers in armor are shown in a wastleland, and an old man comes from above on a cliff. The strange thing is that he is wearing the same clothes that Xehanort's heartless wore in KH1. Another strange thing is that beside him is a figure that is wearing the outfit that Xehanort controlled Riku wore in KH1, and that Riku's clone wore in Chain of Memories. As one of the soldiers attacked the old man, he stopped when he saw that the man was holding one of the other soldiers hostage. The man then sort of froze his body and he dropped off the high cliff. The soldier ran down to see the body. It showed the face, which I must say looked like Roxas alot. There were 2 of the soldiers left. The old man then fired some dark energy wave into the sky which opened some dark gateway or portal. Then the scene moves on to Mickey standing with his Keyblade in this wasteland.

Well, my theory is that either this is the past and Mickey went into the past to help these soldiers. Or, this is the future and that old man is the remains of Xehanort's heartless along with Riku's clone from CoM. (Which by the way was not destroyed) So, I am really hyped up for this game's release. It looks very good. Especially the graphics! I just hope Square Enix will make it multi-platform, not just for the PS3.

2nd Wii

I have a beach house, and sometimes it gets boring. So, well this actually was a random thing. But, I went to Toysrus, to see if they had any Wii games in (I only have 4, but I was particularly looking for Red Steel because of my broken one! Damn!) stock. I walked up to the counter and asked the guy out of curiosity, (I like to laugh at people when I have something they want) did they have any Wii's in stock. I was shocked at his reply. He leaned in and quietly said, "We have 4 left." My jaw dropped. Since the other Wii I have to share with people, I couldn't bring it to my beach house. I said to the guy, "I'll take one." Now, you may be asking yourself, "Why is he buying a Wii when he already has one?" Well, the answer is, normally i'd bring the 360 and be occupied, but as I said in another post, its at Microsoft for repairs. So, I was bored as crap. Well, anyways, back to the story. As the guy took out the Wii he hid it behind the counter as I paid. Quickly, he took it out from behind the counter and slipped it in the bag. But, sure enough, a guy was coming up to buy Guitar Hero 2 for 360 (Which I will soon be reviewing) and saw what was in my bag, and screamed "Oh my god! Wii!" Everyone came running up to the counter and that one guy said "How many are left!?" The guy replied, "3" He took out his wallet and swiped his credit card through. Then, the other 2 people behind him got the other 2. So, I got my 2nd Wii. I also picked up Red Steel afterwards at GameStop because Toysrus was out. Now I sort of feel like it was all a waste though.

Red Steel Destroyed

OMG! I got so pissed yesterday when I came home. I wanted to fire up some Red Steel on my Wii. I looked through my games and came to Red Steel. I opened the case only to find that it was gone! I looked everywhere for it. Finally I found it under my couch. My brother had took it and put it there. When I put it in the Wii, I was waiting for the damn disc to spin on the screen and Red Steel would appear, but, it didn't load the disc so I took it out. I looked at it and there was a light stain on the disc. It was freakin' soda! So, now it is broken and I will have to spend another $50.00 to get it again. I had just gotten to the gun course where you get slo-mo! I'm really pissed off!!!

Xbox 360 Broke

While guys, I decided to start giving updates about what's going on in my gaming world. Well, in early June, my Xbox 360 started to freeze while I was playing. I let it go for about 2 weeks. It's now like June 18th. I start to think that my Halo 2 disc is messed up or scratched. This is because my demos in the dashboard froze while Halo 2 was in the disc drive. Nope, wrong. I took out Halo 2 and fired up Rainbow Six. Still freezing, but this time I got 3 red lights flashing on the LED face. After that, each time it would give me the 3 lights. It lasted about 8 days and finally I went to youtube and looked for some videos with answers. I watched some videos about the "towel trick" (you wrap your 360 in 2 towels and let it sit, on, for 10 minutes, then take it out and let it cool for 5). It didn't really work for me. When my 360 turned on I was shocked.

The excitement only lasted for about 4-5 minutes when I was browsing my 99 messages I missed over the weeks, it froze. I fired it up again and, wait for it, 3 red lights!!! So, last Monday I called Microsoft and they said they would send a prepaid shipping box. I waited and finally this Monday, I recieved it. I put it in and followed the instructions. On Tuesday I brought it to UPS. Due to shipping policies, they had to wait 1 day to send it. Then, on Wednesday, i'm all happy saying finally it'll be sent out. Then I realize that, wait, it's 4th of July, no shipping today. Damnit!!! Now i'm hoping that it will really only take 5 buisiness days. But, wait, buisiness days don't count on weekends. So, I should have it back in approximately, 7 freaking days. I know that's not really much, but to me that's agony. I have to wait until the damn 12th!!! This sucks!!!

Kingdom Hearts 2

The Kingdom Hearts series is an action RPG. Well, I know that Kingdom Hearts 2 is an already "old" game, but I think it's awesome. That is exactly why I am reviewing it. Kingdom Hearts 2 is the sequel to the story of a kid named Sora, who was teleported to an alternate world where he met Donald and Goofy. But enough of that, because if you're reading this, then you've played KH1. So you know the storyline.

Kingdom Hearts II continues Kingdom Hearts' style of gameplay. Sora, the main character, is controlled by the player from a 3rd person camera angle. Most gameplay occurs on interconnected field maps where battles take place. The game is driven by a proggression to the next story event, usually told through cut scenes, which the game has many of. Though there are numerous side quests available that provide bonus stuff for the characters.

The game has added many new weapons and the talked about drive ability. The drive bar is a set of 4 forms that Sora can transfrom into, Valor, Wisdom, Master, and Final. Each has a certain effect on different types of enemies. One of my personal favorites is the Wisdom Form, because you can hover while in it. Also your Keyblade turns into a gun.

Overall, Kingdom Hearts 2 is a very good game compared to the last one. Good job to Square Enix for all the improvements. I'm just dissapointed that it took 4 years. Who knows how long it will take for KH3. Estimates on the internet say mid-2009. Who knows?

I give Kingdom Hearts 2: (4.8 out of 5)
