toys to life

Today, Ubisoft announced that Starlink: Battle for Atlas® received a significant content update that is now available for download. The update is centered on the mysterious appearance of the Crimson Moon in the Atlas star system and is available for download on the Nintendo Switch™ system, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X and Windows PC.

The Toys-to-Life Genre is dead! Long Live the Toys-To-Life Genre. LEGO Dimensions is gone, Disney Infinity is gone, Skylanders is gone, and Starlink didn’t do that well. The Toys-To-Life genre is on its way out. Is there any hope at all? What did I think of this genre? Lets take a look at Toys-to-life! I never got into the toys-to-life genre a lot. I almost didn’t get into it at all. A few years ago, LEGO Dimensions was on sale…

I'll be the first to admit that Powerpuff Girls isn't really up my alley, but when Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment sent over the Powerpuff Girls Team Pack, I was interested enough to put it together and check it out. While I wasn't thrilled about the LEGO builds themselves, the in game content was pretty strong all around, making the Powerpuff Girls Team Pack a good addition to any LEGO Dimensions collection.

So I was watching Ubisoft’s E3 conference and then Just Dance came on. I had to stop watching then. And of course after I stop watching Ubisoft announces another game that’s coming to Nintendo Switch. Its also coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 but yeah having it come to Switch is a big deal. The game is called Starlink: Battle for Atlas. I have watched the trailer. I have the trailer here along with my thoughts on it. Starlink:…

Check out the videos and my impressions of the footage below! The Harry Potter team pack will be coming to Lego Dimensions on September 27th. We have two videos showing off the new Harry Potter world and characters! Check these out: I thought that the Lego Harry Potter games were neat,…

This week, toys-to-life fans were dealt a major shock when Disney announced that they were ending Disney Infinity and also closing the company that made it. Not only that, but Disney is getting out of making games altogether! My thoughts on the game, this shocking announcement and Disney leaving the industry are below. Also: I’m asking all of our readers: What do you think of all of this? I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! Disney announced that they were…

Last week, Warner Bros. PR in Toronto reached out and let me know they had a number of Ninjago, LEGO Dimensions fun packs and character packs to send my way. They arrived yesterday, and my six year old son Logan lost his mind. Not only is Logan a big Ninjago fan, but he is also a big LEGO Dimensions fan. His excitement made me realize something: all of these toys-to-life games do a great job of mixing toys and video games, but none of them - Skylanders or Disney Infinity - can do it like LEGO.

For the longest time, I often would determine my level of interest in a game after sixty minutes. Growing up, I rented a lot of video games, all of which had to pass the sixty minute test before I would buy it from the store. As a reviewer, I technically can't have a sixty minute barometer - I must review the entire game. However, I often still use my sixty minute rule, even if I plan to play the whole game.
