Calling all gamer parents, toy collectors and those looking for a new gaming experience. I think I’ve found what you’re looking for with Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure; a game which looks to reinvent the beloved series, which has fallen on hard times as of late. Behind its colourful, high-definition visuals and engaging gameplay is some very exciting technology. In fact, the game’s most prominent mechanic takes place outside of the game world, with technological wizardry that the gaming world hasn’t seen before. It involves physical, real-world toys, which kids are sure to enjoy in real-life and on their television screen.

I need to come clean about something. Not only am I a huge Uncharted fan, but it’s one of my favourite video game series of all-time. It’s yet to disappoint in any way, shape or form, with a noticeably shiny coat of polish covering each of its previous two entries. Due to that aforementioned reason, you can surely understand that getting a chance to demo Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception at Sony’s Holiday 2011 Event in Toronto was right up my digital alley. Especially since they were showing off two stages from the single player campaign, which is admittedly my favourite part of almost every game on the market. I took my time and played through both for quite a while, aiming to write up a detailed preview article to explain my early thoughts. Put on your adventure hat and we’ll get into brass tax.
