Next round of hints:

1. The OTHER RPG, this one made by Namco, about a girl who goes on a pilgrimage to sacrifice herself to the gods.

2. Coin-op beat-em-up game featuring a family of four going up against an evil corporate tycoon

3. The son of a nobleman and his common-born best friend who were raised together are swept up in political intrigues between two powerful princes and the Pope.

Crazy Taxi.

36. Kingdom Hearts

First Played: 2002

Times completed: 5

If you ask me which video game protagonist wields a keybalde, I'll always answer with Pepperouchau because I'm a stupid nerd, but Kingdom Hearts is the better game, by far. Final Fantasy and Disney collide, is how this game was described when it launched, that was enough for me but I don't think things are that simple. The gameplay is action based and you gain various abilities to help the game strike a balance between RPG and Platformer, more skewed towards RPG of course, but I enjoy the extra freedom to explore using double jumps and gliding, to even flying and, controversially, swimming (yes, I like Atlantica).

The animation is incredible bringing each enemy and main character to life and making combat flow really well. Yoko Shimomura provides the excellent soundtrack, taking cues from Disney for some worlds, but most of the music is original and some of my favourite video game music ever. In my opinion it also features some of the best cheesey lines that I can't help love, from Sora to Ansem or even the game's theme song, it's all the kind of stuff I shouldn't like, and may grate on me in some other JRPGs, but here I find it just so unironically pleasing. The story does get crazy, especially in later games but that is a little later on and it’s mostly simple and clean here.

35. A) The age of exploration has dawned upon the world.

B) They can’t save the world from inside a CD player.

33. The first time this game made it to the west, some bad translation created the fearsome Y Burn.

32. Help a mime beat up a clown.

Alright, I'll try my hand at the whole hints/guessing game. My next three are:

35. A space shooter that was a remake of basically the same space shooter from a previous generation, and got two more remakes of it on later generations.

34. A Nintendo game that made the jump to 3D for its franchise in a way that pretty much felt like it lost the entire appeal of the 2D games, but which was still a very enjoyable game in its own right.

33. The game where one of Nintendo's greatest heroes comes out as a furry.

Sometime over the next week I will commit a horrible blasphemy with my list. Heads might explode, I don't know, but there's no turning back now.

Rachet and Clank:Going Commando?
