Disney Infinity Davy Jones Figure Toy Unboxing Video
One of the busiest booths at E3 2013 was Disney Interactive, largely because of their t-shirt press but also because of Disney Infinity, a new game a la Skylanders where real-life toys can be placed on a portal to have that figure/character appear in the on-screen game. I’ve long been a fan of the Disney Parks and Pirates of the Caribbean, so I was eager to see what Disney had up its sleeve for those franchises in Disney Infinity. Lucky me, I got to see Captain Barbossa and Davy Jones. I was fortunate enough to walk … [Read more...]
Disney Infinity Capt. Barbossa Toy Unboxing Video
One of our initial stops at E3 2013 was the Disney Interactive booth to see Disney Infinity, a new game a la Activision's Skylanders in which players can place a real-life toy on an NFC-enabled portal to have that toy appear as a playable character in the game. The Skylanders games have been two of my kids' favorite games in recent years, so they put me "on assignment" to see Disney Infinity -- which I was intending to do anyway. After all, as a big Pirates of the Caribbean and Disney Parks fan, I was eager to see … [Read more...]
Disney Infinity – Exclusive E3 Lone Ranger Gameplay Video
We had the good fortune to party with Disney Interactive on Sunday night, just two days before E3, to learn more about Disney Infinity and take a walk through the in-game worlds of The Lone Ranger (revealed late last week) and Monsters University. Before the event, Disney was generous enough to let us watch the first 37 minutes of the upcoming Monsters University film, as well as a 15-minute clip of The Lone Ranger, because both films provide great backdrops and characters for the Disney Infinity game. After watching … [Read more...]

Disney’s Planes Coming to Nintendo Platforms — Only — in August
Disney Interactive is hard at work on a game tied to the upcoming feature film "Disney's Planes," with every Nintendo platform slated to get a version.

Disney's Planes, a flying adventure video game inspired by the upcoming animated comedy adventure film, will be available exclusively for the Wii U, Wii, 3DS and DS. The game will ship on August 6, three days before the … [Read more...]

Disney Pixar’s Brave: The Video Game Review
Like many movie-based games, Disney Pixar’s Brave video game borrows most of its situations from its big-screen brother, and as is the case with Disney tie-ins in particular, it’s tempting to think the game’s designed solely for kids. Well, I’m an adult, I saw the movie, and I enjoyed the game. In fact, I was curious if the fact that I had seen the Brave movie would help me at all or sway me one way or another as to its quality of gameplay. As it turns out, you don’t need to see the movie to understand the game, … [Read more...]
