i like the new game coming out called skylanders spyro adventure but come on? They "rebooted" a game series that did not need a reboot back then in like 05/06 and now there rebooting that game series with this. What the ****? I hate activision. Why? activision kills game series. Remember TY the tasmanian tiger. EA made the first. And guess what, activision made the last one. And whats new? no more ty. Activision needs to go bankrupt. I wonder if insomniac will EVER buy spyro back from them.

It means any kind of conversation. Not just game conversation. >.>
I give up. Guess I'll just sit back, and watch.

I thought it was corny rather than childish.

It pretty clearly says above the post box "All off-topic comments will be deleted. Please do not use the comments system for conversations, instead use the provided forums for the game." and you guys are having a conversation, using this page like a topic.

Anyway, this game... I actually find it cute there is an error on even the cover! smilie I prefer the DS version, though. I just wish I could try the mobile version. smilie
