What must be the most, or at least one of the most cosplayed game franchises in the history of nerds dressing up like their favorite characters, Kingdom Hearts is responsible for not only being the only thing to make Mickey Mouse cool since Castle of Illusion, but also a whole lot of wrapping paper tubes being turned into Keyswords (Keyblades, technically). A perfect blend of Square Enix and Disney, it’s been a very successful partnership (something like 20 million copies across all its titles). Join angsty anime teenagers and the big Disney names as they world hop with swords that are also a keys

That’s a whole lot of Keyswords
A sequel to Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD, it’s the same idea. Gathering a trio of previously released games with a graphical uprez, new features, cut scenes and content, for a triple whammy of Kingdom Hearts for the PS3. Though the cynical can always call this a cash grab, for the true fans it’s a great excuse to dive back into worlds they love and have it be new again. For the uninitiated and curious (I mean, there are a lot of Kingdom Hearts cosplay photos, that’s how I found out about it) these packages are a great way to jump in. Regardless, at three games for the price of one, it is an enormous amount of game for the price, and it makes entering a colorful fantasy realm very accessible, and I’m all about getting fun to the masses.
