John Wyma, GIZORAMA - "It has been at least a solid year since I last played a console game that wasn’t rated above ‘Teen’, and it’s purely for lack of trying. Lately, nothing in the realm of kiddie games seemed even remotely enticing, especially when Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and The Evil Within were still fresh on the market and I couldn’t be bothered to tear myself away from them. I was of the belief that I’m a grown up and I like grown up things, and any game without the ability to decapitate my opponent in a shower of blood and bits isn’t worth my time. That is, until, Skylanders: Trap Team showed up on my doorstep. It was all I could do to not spend the next eighteen hours totally engrossed in a world so colorful I think at one point I stroked."
Paul writes: "Ah Activision, purveyors of fine video games for the discerning consumer. Or, if you have a small child obsessed with Skylanders, purveyors of small shiny plastic figures that empty a parent’s wallet faster than a cocaine habit."
