The Game Has(n’t) Changed – Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure
Insidious. Manipulative. Exploitative. Mercenary. Any or all of these words are likely to pop up in whatever review of Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure you so happen to read. Everyone feels the need to point out the inevitable additional cost gamers, or more likely their parents, are going to incur due to the core design behind Skylanders. Bait the hook with a competent multiplayer game utilizing cutely designed characters and an interactive gimmick. Now set the hook by allowing some areas of the game to only be accessed via use of certain characters, which must be purchased separately. Release just before the holidays; retire.

But how does it really perform?
Quit Trying To Shove Your Gears Up My Mass Relay
Evolution is a natural part of life; it happens to almost everything. That which is ill-equipped to survive in its environment, dies – typically, as fodder for another organism who got the claws and sharp teeth behind door number three vs. the big beak, webbed feet and tiny wings which came with the bakeware set behind door number two. Evolution also tends to award organisms that specialize in a particular thing, and with good reason. Trying to do too many things at once is invariably a great way to make sure nothing is done well. Flying birds don’t get multiple legs, the ability to generate an electric current, or the ever-so-popular opposable thumbs (great at parties!), but evolution provided a great way to stay above the things partial to eating them. After all, the dodo had wings, too… Read On »
