A Skylanders display at a library?  That seems kind of unusual.  But then, I haven't been to a library in a while.

Skylanders are super popular with kids and have spawned multiple products.  The franchise has made more money for Activision than Call of Duty!  There was even a Skylanders balloon at last year's and this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!

Certain Skylanders can open certain areas, depending on their element and what game they are in (Trap Team figures have an extra skill, for instance).  I don't know if you get achievements for that since I reviewed the games on Nintendo systems.

I don't really like having to go online to read instructions, though.  I did figure out about where to put the characters on the pedestal so you can play their levels, but it took a while to figure it out and I don't remember them telling you how to do that in the game.

Yes, being able to use any figure pretty much anywhere you want is a plus.  That's something that LEGO Dimensions and Skylanders does right.  The licenses are awesome, though, I do agree with that.

Yeah LEGO stuff in general is expensive.  That's why I usually only play the games.  I used gift certificate money to pay for this one.  Thanks for reading!

I'm surprised there aren't more products like that.  There's not very much Gravity Falls merchandise, that's for sure. 

YOUR Pretend Present is a grappling hook!  If you like the cartoon, you'll understand that joke.

It IS a great cartoon!  I'm worried that the series might be over soon, though.

Point and click Pac-Man, huh?

Step One: Pick Up Dot

Step Two: Use Dot on Pac-Man

Step Three: Repeat First Two Steps

YOUR Pretend Present is a point and click adventure from TellTale starring Batman!  Oh wait, that's actualy coming out next year!

If you have any questions about Skylanders, please let me know, I can probably try and help you.

I like your Nintendo cartridges.

I'll have my Game of the Year Awards Show blog up in early January.

I think my first handheld was an arcade cabinet-shaped Pac-Man LCD game. 

I wasn't impressed with the Game Boy at first.  I could already play Tetris on my PC, and I couldn't understand why anyone would want to play on such a tiny green screen.  The first game that really showed me there was a future in handheld gaming was Link's Awakening, which ended up being my top favorite Zelda game of all time.

Most of the time, Nintendo ruled my handheld gaming time.  I did get into a lot of PSP games, but there was one time that I liked a handheld better than Nintendo's.  And that was the Neo Geo Pocket Color.  I thought that SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash was better than Pokemon!
