Every PC games all from the video

Move over, Pokemon, a new video game with the potential to start a 'collect 'em all' craze is coming to town. On Thursday, Singapore will be among one of the first countries in the world to get Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, a unique video game that can transform plastic action figures into moving digital warriors on your TV screen.

The game uses a wireless dock that can read specially coded chips embedded in the action figures. When players put their Skylander characters onto the dock, a similar looking creature is generated and added into the game world. As the characters level up and gain new abilities in-game, this information is saved back into the chip so that players can carry their powered-up creatures with them. There are a total of 32 characters to collect, and players can pit their warriors against a friend's in the game's two player battle modes.


Skyland: Spyro's Adventure is available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii consoles, as well as for the PC and Mac. A version for the 3DS handheld gaming device, which plays slightly differently, is expected to hit stores here on Oct 25. The games will be available at IT stores such as Challenger and retailers like Toys 'R' Us.

A starter pack consisting of the video game software, the dock, and three standard action figures will go for $109 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii versions. The PC and Mac version will go for $89.90. Additional action figures are priced at $19.90 each, or $49.90 for a set of three. Extra levels, also stored in figurines that can be read by the dock, are available in adventure pack sets for $49.90 each.
