Skylanders Giants
_A hot, hot, HOT toy this Christmas is the Skylanders Giants Starter Pack. This set is made for four different game systems including Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, Sony PS3, and Nintendo 3DS. The popular game is about creatures from Skyland who have been banished to live on Earth after a battle in their homeland.
The starter pack comes with more than just the game, though that is the main attraction. But it includes a Portal of Power toy and three action figures so you can act out the scenes from the video game.
It also comes with a poster that your child will love putting on the wall. In addition, there are sticker sheets that carry secret codes and three trading cards. This is a fun way to continue playing with the game even when the video system is turned off.

The Adventure Just Got Better
The Skylanders figures get life breathed into them when players enter through the Portal of Power (and this portal is on any of the platforms they use). No matter which platform you use, the Skylander figure remains in the level and at the skill it was when your play was interrupted. In the game, kids get to become a virtual Portal Master and can interact with numerous characters (all the good guys of course). These good guys are in charge of keeping Skylands safe. The Skylands is a fictional virtual world under the sinister thumb of Kaos, who is a Portal Master, too. He's done his dirty work and kicked the Skylanders out of their home world. The game itself is rated E 10+, but the recommended age by ToysRUs and the manufacturer is six years old to eight years old. You'll need to think about the maturity level of your own child when deciding if this game is right for your family. This Skylanders Giants is a sequel to another game that's been out for some time called Skylanders Spyro's Adventure. The premise is that these are toys that come to life to have adventures. The Skyladers Giants game is brand new for this holiday season and you may even find that you have to pre-order it. But those who have tried it already and submitted reviews rave about the puzzles and challenges of the game. Reviewers call it a must-have, and compliment the graphics and the sound of the game as well as the action level for children. If your child already loves Sklyanders Spyro's Adventure, then the Skylanders Giants Starter Pack is a must! But even if he hasn't tried the previous game, the Sklanders Giants is sure to be a hit. By purchasing this game now you'll be one of the first households to have it. It's brand new, so it will fly off the shelves fast. If you can preorder the game, you should do it. You don't want to miss out on the best new video game adventure of 2012. The Skylanders Giants Starter Pack is available on the four largest video game systems. Combine the great game with the fun toys included and you have a true winner for Christmas 2012. Like this top Christmas toy, but want something more active?
