The ability to translate a toy figurine into video game form by placing it on a special pedestal might seem like a gimmick, but to kids it’s more like magic. In Skylanders Giants, there are new figures to collect, as well as new editions of characters from the original game. And that whole figurine angle has a bit of utility to it as well: Bring one over to a friend’s house, and all its progress through the game comes along with it, even across different game consoles. Skylanders Giants is available now for the PlayStation 3, Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS.
