I don’t understand Amiibo’s. Let me rephrase that, I more than understand the point of Amiibo’s, as evidenced in “Exhibit A,” my shelf after the September launch of Disney Infinity 2.0: That’s not including the Hulk figure that I’ve added, the Hiro and Baymax I’ve drooled over as I’ve passed them on store shelves, as well…
2014, for me at least, will go down as the year that Disney gave me things I didn’t know that I wanted. Rewinding back to when Guardians of the Galaxy was announced I scoffed at the idea, thinking and possibly not alone on this, that it would be Marvel Studios first flop, and certainly not…
NOTE: THIS GAME DOESN’T ALLOW THE USE OF 3-D. Movie tie-in games that release on anything other than a mobile device are something of a rarity nowadays with consumers wising up to the obvious cash-grab games that publishers shoveled onto shelves, quality be damned, to piggyback off the success of a major motion picture. Which is…
I know I’ll catch a lot of heat over this by those who adore Halloween, but in three days time, it’ll be over and the madness of the Holiday season will kick in, if it hasn’t already. One item that I’m assuming will be in a lot of wish lists this year is the toys-to-life…
Yesterday Marvel Studios threw their cards on the table and showed the world their planned film slate until the end of the decade and while I’m ecstatic that there’s going to be a Captain Marvel film and the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel has been moved up, I’m still disappointed that Marvel doesn’t have a firm…
Previously The Incredible Hulk was only available to those who pre-ordered the collectors edition of Disney Infinity 2.0 on the PlayStation platforms, which left a lot of incomplete Avengers sets and fans playing on other machines out in the cold. That all changes today as Hulk is now available for purchase as a stand along…
Two characters from Big Hero 6, Hiro and Baymax, are headed to Disney Infinity 2.0’s Toy Box in November along with a handheld game on both the original DS and the 3DS. On top of all of that, the group are coming to mobile devices in Big Hero 6: Bot Fight, available for download on…
The third and final play set that’s presently available to purchase for Disney Infinity 2.0, based on this summer’s extraordinary breakout success the Guardians of the Galaxy, is in many ways the best play set for your money, but in some respects it’s a tiny bit disappointing. The best thing that can be said about…
Whereas the first Disney Infinity game came with three different play sets in one package, this year model leaves it up to the player (or the parent of the player) to purchase the remaining two independently. One of the first out of the gate is the Spider-Man play set, inspired by the Disney animated series…
Ever since the “Toys-to-life” genre was kickstarted with the original Skylanders back in 2011, I’ve been dreading the day when anyone would apply that model to a property I care about, as if there’s two things I love to collect, it’s video games and action figures. Last year Disney jumped into the game with the first…
