Skylanders Giants generated sales of more than $195 million across North America throughout 2012, Activision have announced.
This has allowed the franchise to surpass $500 million in revenue across the country, with both Skylanders Giants and Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure figures outselling other action figure lines in the toy category.
The 2010s occupy a difficult time slot in the world of gaming. The games aren't new enough to be "cool" but they aren't old enough to be "retro." So basically, they're cheap. Ghetto Gamer contributor Hyp3rblue digs deep--but not too deep--into gaming's past to see what we may have just missed.
Asura's Wrath was underrated and the dlc was one of the few times i actually felt like a dlc was worth the money.
Everytime I see a picture of Asura's Wrath I get a moment of happiness for knowing that niche game and then the realization of why it failed with the DLC that made me hate Capcom to the point of saying I wouldn't buy a game of theirs again!
(bought DMC5 on release)
well I agree this list is terrible. Had to click just to see how bad it was. If someone wanted to know wt the best games were this decade and stumbled upon this list they would think "wt happened to gaming in the 2010's" lol
The successes of Ratchet and Clank and the Crash-themed Easter eggs shown in Uncharted 4, have a lot of individuals hopeful for a new game. Yet, we have heard that Activision holds the rights to franchise the beloved bandicoot. With their focus on releasing the next Call of Duty, would it be worth their time to make money on nostalgia?
If Sony released a new Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon games on PS4 I would literally flip out and scream like a little girl
Crash, spyro, gex, croc, tombi, medievil... They need to come back, for the love of the platform gaming!

What a worthless franchise. It baffles my mind that time after time, Activision gets away with pushing all this plastic crap onto the market. First it was guitar hero, then it was the ill-fated Tony Hawk's board, and now it's stupid plastic figurines.
They have done it right. my son loves skylanders, he is 4 just beat the game on his own.
It is also fun for me too, I do not have to worry about anything bad, there is no blood, cussing or anything of the sort.
The characters are really detailed and fun. Everything is lighthearted.
we have it on the wiiu & i give it a 9/10.
Everyone stop hating on it...it's for kids...it's not like Pokemon where there's actually a deep ly rooted RPG among the myriad of (mostly) attractive characters. This game needs TOYS because it is for children...rather than the other way around where some kids like a game so they make toy merchandise. It's a gimmick..a good gimmick
Better this than COD even though its the same publisher.
