Little Gamer Update - The Christmas One

So, Christmas brings lots of wonderful things. Like spending time with your family, eating all the things you have spent all year avoiding and of course several tonnes of rubbish. In a gaming household though, Christmas means the joy of new gaming and this year has been a bumper holiday Two Little Gamers HQ. Normally it's me who enjoys this gaming bonanza, but this year the Little Gamers have been stealing the show. This is thanks to all the new Disney Infinity stuff they got from Father Christmas. they got Play sets and power discs, but most importantly they got Princess figures. I have to admit that running around their various toy boxes, smacking anyone who crossed my path with Rapunzel's frying pan is very fun.

7 Second Unboxing - Disney Infinity

Two 7 Second Unboxings in 24 hours. You lucky people. Today sees the Little Gamers and I un-box our new obsession, Disney Infinity!



We finally had the time to make down to our local Game and trade in some bits (Bye Bye Skylanders) for the Disney Infinity Starter Pack and an extra figure. The girls chose Violet from the Incredibles and also picked up a couple of Power Discs to finish off our little haul. The only problem with the game so far, is trying to explain to two very excited Little Gamers that the patch and installation are necessary, even it does take 10 minutes. Luckily, I managed to distracted them with the figures long enough until it had finished.

Infinity Week - Day 2 - How to use the Toy Box

So yesterday, we looked at Disney Infinity as a whole. Today though we are going delve deeper into the awesome "Toy Box". Imagine a gameworld where Minecraft meets LittleBigPlanet. Where you can shape and create your world to look and feel like your favorite film and then make games adventures for you and your friends to play in. Welcome to the Toy Box!



The beautiful thing about the Toy Box mode is that at the surface it is simple enough to let your kids create great looking worlds with ease. Yet, peel away the surface and the various editors allow for some complex designing and customising. Lets take a look at how easy it is to use Power Discs to change the way your environment looks.



Nice and simple with great looking results. So now you have created a nice themed world what do you want to do with it? How about expanding on the idea of a race track? How would you go about making a really cool karting track? Lets see...



Finally, Lets see what happens when you combine the advance editor elements to make a working Football stadium with working scoreboards and confetti cannons.



Once again, the tagline "infinite possibilities, endless fun" springs to mind. The Toy Box is the one of the most exciting elements of the game and one that is sure to keep Little Gamers (and their parents) coming back again and again.

Infinity Week - Day 1 - What is Disney Infinity

With the UK release of Disney Infinity only a few days away. Two Little Gamers is going to dedicate this week to this incredible new game. Let's start with the simple question... What is Disney Infinity?

Disney Infinity is a complicated thing. Collectable figures, virtual playsets and power discs, all combining into a videogame based sandbox via a portal device connected to your games console. Simply place a figure on the Infinity Portal and Presto! They are in the game for you to play with. So far its all very Skylanders, right? Wrong! Disney Infinity then takes the genre to a new level by adding Playsets and Power Disc's.

The Playset blocks fit in the back section of the portal and allow the user access to a themed world full of fun and mission. Plus it unlocks special themed items to use in the creation mode called "Toy Box". Place a  Power Disc underneath your figure and you unlock a special power for them to use. Place a hexagonal Power Disc under your playset piece to unlock objects, vehicles, or even new themes for your Toy Box.

The Toy Box mode is where the real action takes place. Players can create and design their own themed worlds full of activities they can design and share with the friends and play with them. Whether it be creating a football game or a race track, even a flying race. The possibilities are endless (which is also the tagline for the game) and with the addition of more Characters (the second Wave is coming as soon as October) and new Playsets and Powers, Kids and adults can look forward to playing in Infinity for a long time to come.
