Breaking the mold one Nerd at a time.
Ever since I saw the initial wave of figures and teasers, I’ve been waiting to offload my Skylanders for Pokemon Rumble U figures. In my search for more information to devour, I caught a couple trailers that I thought you Poke’Fans might be interested in. These 2 trailers cover basic gameplay, and you can see [...]
Nintendo, now jumping on the Skylanders Bandwagon, has announced that there will be a new Pokemon Rumble game coming to Japan this April. With this announcement, they have also shown that Pokemon Rumble U will be using its NFC technology to allow players to collect and use around 649 different Pokemon figures with the Wii U [...]
Attempting to break into the tangible figure + video game market, Disney has officially announced Infinity. Basically, it’s Skylanders with Disney flavor. So as the resident Skylanders Guru, I thought I would talk a little bit about what this means. Hopefully, a couple things are going to happen: It should not be totally lame: [...]
So I thought we would get to know a little bit about wave 1′s Giants, seeing as how they are the focal point of the entire game (mostly). Generally you will need at least 1 giant to accomplish 100% of the goals in every level, as some areas may have “Feat of Strength” sections, or [...]
Since Halloween just came, I thought a little spooky Skylander goodness was in order! Ladies and Germs allow me to introduce you to possibly my favorite new Skylander: Fright Rider! This undead duo plays pretty interestingly. Given that you control two characters acting as a solid unit, it is one of the more original play [...]
So it’s been out for almost a week, and I have to say: I am LOVING Skylanders Giants! Now before I get started, this is going to be a bit of a weird review. Giants, as you know is the sequel to Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure, and not much as changed in sense of gameplay. Put [...]
Another stop in the journey that was PAX Prime was on the third floor DS Lounge where Activision was kind enough to show me the new Giants up close and personal. The two gentlemen that were demoing the figures brought a couple assorted 1st Gen. Skylanders with them but also brought Tree-Rex, Crusher and Bouncer [...]
The Giants managed to barge their way into Gamescom as well this year with the introduction of Chill, who appears to be the Water Element Skylander not to be confused with the Water Giant who has not been named yet. Now while I think the characters design is a little lacking, after having watched her [...]
The Nerd Farmcast is back! In this luckiest of episodes, episode 7 ensures you’ll have all of you’re ducks in a row with the Penny Arcade Expo less than a month away. We’re hoping to see some great things this year, Borderlands 2, Dead Space 3, Assassin’s Creed III, Skylanders Giants, Watch Dogs, and plenty [...]
The 17th and creepiest Skylanders episode yet is here! The Creepy Citadel rounds out the undead elemental levels so I thought maybe “Spooky-Vision” might be fun! Let us know what you think! It’s a pretty straight forward level, just avoid the zombies! Bring the fire! -Nic Back to the farm!
