I think Skylanders is a blast. It really deserves attention from the youngest gamer to the oldest, grumpy gamer disenchanted with today's gaming climate. Gaming fun and magic in this form is a rare thing that should be recognized and embraced. I only have three of the figurines, and I am serious when I say that I cannot wait to collect as many as I can. From the quality of the physical design to the incredibly varied and fun characters in game, the total package is a riot. The puzzles, the treasures, the items you unlock; it all works and melds together into something special. The game may be marketed mainly to kids, but seriously, I have not had this much pure fun in a long time.
The 2010s occupy a difficult time slot in the world of gaming. The games aren't new enough to be "cool" but they aren't old enough to be "retro." So basically, they're cheap. Ghetto Gamer contributor Hyp3rblue digs deep--but not too deep--into gaming's past to see what we may have just missed.
Asura's Wrath was underrated and the dlc was one of the few times i actually felt like a dlc was worth the money.
Everytime I see a picture of Asura's Wrath I get a moment of happiness for knowing that niche game and then the realization of why it failed with the DLC that made me hate Capcom to the point of saying I wouldn't buy a game of theirs again!
(bought DMC5 on release)
well I agree this list is terrible. Had to click just to see how bad it was. If someone wanted to know wt the best games were this decade and stumbled upon this list they would think "wt happened to gaming in the 2010's" lol
The successes of Ratchet and Clank and the Crash-themed Easter eggs shown in Uncharted 4, have a lot of individuals hopeful for a new game. Yet, we have heard that Activision holds the rights to franchise the beloved bandicoot. With their focus on releasing the next Call of Duty, would it be worth their time to make money on nostalgia?
If Sony released a new Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon games on PS4 I would literally flip out and scream like a little girl
Crash, spyro, gex, croc, tombi, medievil... They need to come back, for the love of the platform gaming!

My nephew won't shut up about this game. Perhaps I should talk to Santa....
I have an adult friend who just loves this game. I want to check it out, but I don't want to get hooked into something where I'm going to want to buy new toys for it all the time.
I hadn't even heard of this until I started seeing a ton of them all over stores. Guess they found a successful way to reinvigorate the Spyro series.
I miss the Spyro of old... but this collectible aspect is going to hook me and make me broke.
