a new skylanders game is coming, it seems like we will see a sports title featuring the toy figures. whether this will be limited to football or a broader range of sports remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure there will be more toys to buy.

Hmm... i doubt that

this was being rumoured when the giants v patriots superbowl event ... there is no substance in the rumour ... it was only started to try and distract from the real skylanders giants announcement

Meh, don't want to spend any more money on this. Seriously.

I doubt this will ever happen, and if it does, it would be kinda lame. No need for wordplay on real life football team. This is a fantasy world after all. In any case, like I said, I doubt this will ever happen...

>Giants VS Patriots

Oh god I lol'd.

You can clearly see it's a joke collumn. It was written on Jan. 26th, before we actually knew Giants was the name of the new game. He's also using screens from the first game as pictures from "Giants VS Patriots" and look at that terrible shoop job on the cover for the game.

You sir, just got trolled.

activision register skylanders giant ip, we got skylanders giant. activision also registered skylanders patriots and we will get a new game, i am sure of it. i think this will be a game for the wii-u, maybe exclusive?..

we will see 8 months after skylanders giant release or the wii-u release... its activision we talk about here you know.

Is there a proof that Activision actually bought this domain? I can't find any.

nope, like i said above they only registered it after people found out about the skylandersgiants domains

Sounds like trolling.

Edit:

It's trolling

Nat Loh
still no articles about #Skylanders Burritos, Skylanders Musical, or Skylanders Competitive Knitting??? #jk

It doesn't make sense anyways. A video game based with Skylanders characters based on an American sport? If it was Skylanders Olympics 2012, maybe.

I'm sure if you went looking, you'd find a bunch of urls that Activision has acquired, lest something like that one guy who bought..a Black Ops site or whatever and Activision had to basically write the guy a blank check for it back.

prototypes??

It costs what, $5 to register a domain? Is it possible that someone in activision has a sense of humor and made a play on the superbowl with their purchase of the giants domain? Naaa, activision doesnt have a sense of humor.
