What’s New with Disney Gaming

Since I am a huge gamer, I was really looking forward to the Disney Interactive Gaming Panel at D23 Expo. I was beyond excited from the moment I found out that it was on our itinerary and I would be able to attend. I was itching to hear news on Disney Infinity 3.0 characters and I had my fingers crossed for a Kingdom Hearts III release date. While I did not get that release date, I did get some pretty exciting news about the game itself. There was also some pretty awesome Star Wars games (and Playstation!) announcements.

Step Into the Game with Disney’s Playmation

A couple of weeks ago I told you guys about Playmation. I have since gotten the chance to see it played in person – and even to wear it – and I feel like an update is warranted. I know I was singing it’s praises before even seeing it in action but now I can officially tell you that you should pre-order your Playmation now. This gaming system is incredible. I love the fact that it can be played anywhere – inside, outside – wherever your imagination takes you. The piece that you wear is too cool. In the Iron Man set you will receive repulser gear, two power activators, the Captain America Smart Figure, and the Iron Skull Smart Figure. I love that they chose some of my favorite characters from the films and comics for the starter pack.

FanGirl Friday: Active Gaming for Kids

If you have ever looked at my website before than you should know I am a pretty big gamer. I love all forms of gaming and so do my girls (like mother, like daughters, right?). One thing that you lose with most gaming is being active. Sure there are interactive games using the Wii and XBOX Kinect but you still have to be in front of a screen while playing. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with gaming like this for kids – it should just be spaced out in my opinion. They shouldn’t be sitting in front of the TV all day and night. Of course, they could use their imaginations and run around playing with friends or siblings but there are other fun and active options too! That is why I think Active Gaming for kids is super important. Read about a couple of options that are coming soon below.

Inside Out joins Disney Infinity 3.0

It is no secret that I am a huge gamer. One of my favorite ways to kill time is by popping in a good video game. My favorite game to spend hours on end playing is Disney Infinity. It is a great game to blow off steam to and just have fun with! There are two ways to play – play sets and the toy box. Play sets can be played with characters specific to them and they are like “normal” video games – you have a mission, you complete it, you (maybe) earn some kind of reward, game over. But the toy box, oh, the toy box, that is where your imagination can run wild! Throughout the play sets you can collect many things to use in your toy box. Here you can create your own world for any/all of your characters to play in (you can even use the 1.0 characters in a 2.0 toy box – and will be able to use both in the 3.0 toy boxes!!). Both of my daughters love the toy box. My 2.5 year old is a little young still, but she can find her way around a toy box that someone else has already built – no problem.

Inside Out is Coming to Disney Infinity 3.0

I am counting down the days until I head to LA to check out the Inside Out premiere. This movie is full of some hilarious actors/comedians like Bill Hadar and Amy Poehler. I have been looking forward to seeing this movie since I heard about it. So when I then heard that Inside Out was going to be a part of Disney Infinity 3.0 I was even more excited! We have both the original Disney Infinity and 2.0 and it is something that the entire family loves to play. My daughters even play with the figures when we are not using them for the game. I love collecting the power discs as well.

Avengers: Age of Ultron Memory Game

Today is the day! Avengers is open in theaters everywhere! I went to see it last night and all I can say is go see it! Do it the right way, spoil yourself, and see it in IMAX 3D – you will not be disappointed. I am hoping to go see it again while it is in theaters. Being a HUGE Marvel Geek this movie was everything that I wanted it to be, and more. I beg of you, go see it! Even if you are not that in to comics, you are sure to love this movie. It is packed with action, comedy – and it is a great story. It is an all star cast – every actor was the perfect choice to play their character. I cannot complain about one thing! Please, please, please, go see it!

Spot It! Disney Frozen Olaf

I love to play games with my family. It is always so exciting when we can find a game that we can all play and understand – even my 2 year old. We found that with Spot It! from Blue Orange Games. Now we have played Spot It! before – we own the Doc McStuffins version (you can read that review here) and we love it. I was so happy to see a Disney Frozen version come out because we still watch that movie on repeat in our home. I know that mommy loves it just as much as my girls do. Spot It! is the perfect family game, especially when your family contains little ones.
