I spent a good amount of time tonight playing SkyLanders. We just got the Empire of Ice and Dragon’s Peak Adventure Packs and love the new characters. Empire of Ice is pretty easy and we completed that super quick. Dragon’s Peak is posing to be a bit of a challenge though, I can’t find a specific item to complete that level.

I really like the game but am not thrilled about going to go and find the figures needed to totally complete the game. I understand what is being done to inflate the market and it stinks. What stinks more is standing in line with entitled people. Listening to people complain about the lack of characters and how much they need those characters is a bit sickening. People writing letters to Activision to express how there should be more figures. They’ll put out figures in their own time.The market will be inflated and then at the height of fever it will be flooded. Then with the next series it will begin all over again.

It is just a game. A very fun game and I’m looking for 5 last figures none-the-less.

Skylander has become my favorite video game ever. I love how each character has so many powers and you can decide to upgrade each characters specific abilities. For instance each character has a melee attack and a ranged attack. You can decide to improve your ranged attack and game play goes one way or you can do your melee attack and game play is completely different.

My favorite character is Drobot. What is more awesome than a robot dragon. He can fly, shoot buzzsaws and has laser eyes. I’m working on getting him even more upgraded by doing the Heroic Challenges, too. Each character can perform 32 different Heroic Challenges and improve their speed, critical hits, and armor. I should have enough time to get them all fully upgraded before Skylanders: Giants comes out this fall. At Toy Fair 2012 Activision announced this new game and I am so excited to play it.
