Lego Marvel Super Heroes - Launch Trailer
Posted by
Mark
Those lucky Americans! They get their hands of the latest LEGO blockbuster today. Meanwhile in Europe, we have to wait until the 15th November. Never mind though, we can console ourselves by enjoying the new launch trailer for the game. In all its Stan Lee goodness!
Now for the bad news. Although I had been told that the PS Vita version of LEGO: Marvel Super Heroes was based off the home console versions and not the 3DS port. Thats not true it appears. On the Vita and 3DS the game is known as LEGO: Marvel Super Heroes - Universe in Peril and is an isometric Diablo-esque game using the levels and scenarios from the main home console version. There is no free roaming open world, just levels.
Of course there is good news as well.... It still looks like a great game on its own merits. Have a look at this gameplay video posted by YouTube user Marc The Geek.
Its not what Vita owners wanted, but it still looks like good fun.
LEGO videogame of the year smashes its way into UK retailers from 15th November on practically format available.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes demo available now!
Posted by
Mark
In case you don't already know. The demo for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is out now on both Xbox Live and PSN. You really need to grab this demo and give it a go as it could be the finest LEGO game to date. The demo allows you play as Iron Man, Hulk and Spider-Man as they take on Abomination and Sandman in Grand Central station. The demo gives just a glimpse at the full game and the how well realised the abilities of the Marvel heroes are.
Iron Man can fly with ease whilst firing laser blast and missiles. Spider-Man's web swinging and spider sense. Hulk though is the most fun character in the demo. As a new big figure, he can smash his way through groups of enemies and pickup large objects and throw them. Best of all though, hold down a button to calm down Hulk and transform back to Bruce Banner.
The care and attention shown to this much loved universe is brilliant and I have high hopes for the other 147 characters that are playable in the full game. That's right 150 characters in total (80 in the Vita version). That's a whole load of heroing to get your hands on!
Take a look at this as well, the LEGO version of the poster for Thor: The Dark World. This accompanies the announcement that a special downloadable character (DLC) pack will be available for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes at launch. The Asgard DLC pack will include eight playable characters, all of whom are also featured in the film.
LEGO® Marvel™ Super Heroes on November 15th for Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3, Wii U™, Nintendo 3DS™, PlayStation® Vita, and PC. The game will also be available for Xbox One® and PlayStation® 4 in November.

Infinity Week - Day 2 - How to use the Toy Box
Posted by
Mark
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
Posted by
Mark
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.
For more a detailed explanation of Disney Infinity and how it all works, check out this video from PlayStation Pure's YouTube channel.

Posted by
Mark
So the time of Disney Infinity is nearly upon us, but what is it? Is it quick attempt to use the popularity of Skylanders to make Disney some more cash (need to fund those new Star Wars films somehow!) or is it something else, something better realised than Activisions popular Model collecting, Platformer? Lets take a closer look.
