I don't see it...

Press embargo is in fact 7pm EST. And good idea with the thread or else there would have been countless new threads in a few hours.

That's an unrelated link...

Anyways, I may not be able to update this tonight, so unless a mod does it I'll try to do it tomorrow morning.

Corrected the link, sorry, multi-tasking

Neat.

I'm prepped and ready to give you guys all the info from FamilyGamerTV as soon as the clock ticks past 12. Just clock watching at the moment.

Skylanders Trap Team - Hands On Interview, Full Details & Trap Masters



Skylanders Trap Team is announced and we sit down with Jeff Poffenbarger, Executive Producer at the Skylanders Trap Team launch event to get the inside track on the new game.

He talks us through the different features of the new game along with hands on with some of the new figures.

Along the way Jeff talks about the different platforms the game is being developed for and how Toys for Bob is looking after the Wii, 360 and PS3 versions rather than the next gen games that are being handled by Beenox. An interesting move that will give greater impetus for the now aging (but popular) Wii version of the game.

Jeff also confirms (we think) that Trap Team will include female heroes of their titular characters. The Trap Masters we have seen have all been male but there are some female characters to arrive soon.
So far we have had hands on with the following Trap Masters:
- Snap Shot
- Wollop
- Wildfire

Then there are new Core Skylanders
- Chopper
- Food Fight

40 Trappable Villains including Chompy Mage and Shred Naught. With each Trap element being able to hold four enemies this suggests that we will see two new Elements so that each of the Trap keys has the same number - four each.

Skylanders Trap Team Starter Pack Review



We go hands on with the new Skylanders Trap Team Starter Pack and suggest that the numbers of enemy trappable characters for the new game indicate that two new Elements are planned (although currently not announced).

Here's what we know so far about the Starter Pack:

- Snap Shot - Trap Master Skylander
- Food Fight - New Core Skylander
- Water Trap

- 2 Character cards

We also have a look at the new Trap Master characters, the full run down is as follows:
- Snap Shot
- Wollop
- Wildfire

Then there are new Core Skylanders
- Chopper
- Food Fight

40 Trappable Villains including Chompy Mage and Shred Naught. With each Trap element being able to hold four enemies this suggests that we will see two new Elements so that each of the Trap keys has the same number - four each.

There will be a total of over 50 New Skylanders

Come on FGTV!
Stop pretending you have the figures. The Crappy photoshop job you did on the video is fooling nobody. It makes you look silly.

Just admit you don't have them, nobody would think less of you but pretending makes you look bad...
