MALLGOERS GET
HANDS-ON PREVIEW
OF SOON-TO-BE-RELEASED
VIDEO GAME
Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive
The Skylanders Giants mall tour made a stop at Bethesda's Westfield Montgomery Mall recently. A video game and toy line, Skylanders can best be described as a cross between Pokemon and Captain Power from the 1980s. Like Pokemon - to many parents' chagrin, I'm sure - collecting all of the characters is the goal. And like Captain Power, your toy purchase interacts with the game, by placing your character figure onto a platform that puts it into the video game.
Once again, the great American indoor mall is not dead yet. When's the last time you found a video game set up outdoors in a mixed-use town center?
