Disney's Treasure Planet (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Okay, so when I said I’ll be back in the New Year, I sorta kinda lied… SURPRISE!

Instead I made this my second episode this December – another Christmas special in a sense, despite having absolutely nothing to do with Christmas. Anyway, who’s up for a seafaring adventure (in space)? Well, you came to the right place. Based on Disney’s underrated 2002 film Treasure Planet, the game sees our protagonist Jim Hawkins embark on an exciting voyage, filled to the brim with awkward double jumps, inappropriately upbeat music, and an unsettling amount of elevators. No, really.

Also, I can’t believe I missed this, but of all the film clips I could have omitted from the end credits, I happened to forget Treasure Planet itself (2002, Walt Disney Home Entertainment). Whoops.

Thanks to Laura Liptrot for your request. I hope you enjoyed, and that I’ve offered a few new thoughts on the game.

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge (PS2) - i don't have a nose CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!

What’s this? What’s this? It’s my HD debut!

What’s this? A Christmas special too!

Yes, this time around, I’m taking a look at an old personal favourite. Released in 2004, Capcom’s Oogie’s Revenge for the PS2 served as a near-perfect tribute to the original Tim Burton classic ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’. Does it still hold up?

It does indeed, and tremendously at that. After Jack Skellington leaves Halloween Town in search of new scares for next year’s Halloween celebrations, the three brats Lock, Shock and Barrel emerge and, in what is arguably a retrograde move in terms of character development, somehow resurrect Oogie – the boogiest (and buggiest) of baddies. Jack returns to find the town overthrown and in peril as Oogie’s takeover is so very near completion. It’s up to Jack to employ some killer dance moves to pay him out – bugs and all.

Thanks to Katie Soley for your request. I hope you enjoyed, and that I’ve offered a few new thoughts on the game.

PS: Oh, and for those keeping up with my Giant Spider Alerts, you’ll notice I’ve begun to number them. In case there’s anybody sad enough to point this out, I just wanna make it clear I’m including the arachnid from Aladdin in Nasira’s Revenge. Just so we’re clear…
