Skylanders: Trap Team is the latest in the Skylanders series
from Activision. If you have never played a Skylanders game before, it's like a Diablo/Torchlight, hack-and-slash game for the whole family. It uses collectible figures (sold separately) on an NFC "portal" that brings the figure into the game. The figures level up and gain new abilities the more you use them. All of the character data is stored within the figure, so if you wanted to bring the character to a friends house you can and it will be just like it is on your system.
In this new version not only can you use the Skylanders from
the previous 3 games, Activision is adding quite a few new Skylanders to play
in the game like: Gear Shift, Torch, and Food Fight.
Along with the new characters, the Trap Masters, you are also able
to trap some of the villains you battle and have them fight for you using the
“Traptanium” crystals. You can trap and use villains like: Broccoli Guy, Pain-Yatta, and even Kaos!
Skylanders: Trap Team will be available October 5, 2014 and will be on all current and next-gen consoles. There will be two different editions available at launch a Standard Edition and the Dark Edition.
The Standard Edition includes:
1 Video Game
1 New Traptanium Portal
2 Skylanders Figures (Food Fight and Snap Shot)
2 Traps (Life and Water)
2 Character Sticker Sheets with Secret Codes
2 Trading Cards
1 Character Poster
Standard Edition will be $74.99.
The Dark Edition includes:
1 Video Game
1 New Traptanium Portal
3 Unique Dark Edition Skylanders (Food Fight, Snap Shot, and Wildfire)
1 Ultimate Kaos Trap
1 Life Trap and 1 Water Trap
Dark Edition Trap Collection Tray
2-Sided Collection Poster
Trading Cards and Sticker Sheets
Dark Edition will be $99.99, well worth the extra $15, in my opinion.
Check out the trailer for the game!
I have already preordered the Dark Edition and look forward to playing with my family this fall. If you want to become the next Portal Master/Trap Master I suggest for you to preorder as well.

We love playing Skylanders as a family, and the kids loving getting to pick there characters out and put the on the portal. Can't wait for the new game to come out this fall.
