Skylanders: Cloud Patrol
With as hot a product as Skylanders has been since it was released late last year, it was only a matter of time before a version landed on mobile devices. Yesterday, Activision released Skylanders: Clod Patrol through Apples App Store available for all iOS devices running iOS 4.3 or later. The game costs $0.99, but allows you to incorporate in any physical characters from its console cousins (Skylanders: Spyros Adventures) via the code each character is shipped with.
The game starts with Trigger Happy (probably my favorite character) and has a Fruit Ninja style vibe to it. You basically have to kill the trolls, collect magic and treasure without hitting the bombs. It can be pretty addicting. Anyways, you can check it out for iOS only (at this point) on iTunes.
