Michael Futter writes: The first time I ever saw a press release about Skylanders, I chuckled to myself. “Nice try, Activision,” I said. “You’re going to bury those in between the desert pits currently home to Atari‘s E.T. cartridges and THQ‘s uDraw tablet.” It wasn’t until I had the chance to talk to someone from Activision completely by accident at Call of Duty XP last year that I started to change my mind.
Activision have turned a once great franchise into a bloated, pustulant, cash cow.
The only humane thing to do is put the thing out of it's misery, but I doubt Dignitas accept fictional dragons as patients.
