It's one of the best series of games that I played when I was younger with my older brother plus friends & is part of the core reasons why I had gotten into playing video games in the first place; it's an amazing series that needs to come back. This one specifically was my favorite. We fans desire it, give it back to us, & also make it work on Xbox One S if any doesn't already. It should be made so that there is DLCs to buy characters originally locked which are cheap so you can make money off the characters who are extras, similar to how we would have to buy the figures, but also bring back the figures that players can collect & use too on a portal. Lots of changes would be needed, but I doubt you can't make any of that happen, it just needs some sort of new registration for the figures to have portals work on all the consoles.ArloAzera

Skylanders was a part of my childhood, and I still play it. I also introduced it to my younger sister, who was born after us Portal Masters, and she loved it. I’m hoping for something new from Skylanders, or for the Skylanders games to come to newer consoles. Or that Netflix finishes their series. We still get collectibles from Yootooz from time to time, so I’m already happy about that.
The second entry into the series, I love the design of this game as it's very similar to the first one. It expands on it beautifully though, and it provides me with just as much fun as it was before. I would LOVE for backwards compatibility, port, ANYTHING at all to be done for this game and the others in the series, as this shaped my childhood and it is also one of the best games I know to this day.

I absolutely loved playing this game with my brothers as a kid, we'd collect nearly every skylander between the three of us and weren't allowed to get the same as the other person. It was so much fun and such a crucial game for me that I remember fondly, I'd love to see all of the skylanders games on modern day consoles as I don't want them to be forgotten. Also please don't remove the local co-op as that was very important and I hate seeing modern games adopt this. #saveskylanders
Skylanders Giants is the Game I Played wait back in This Game IP's Prime Peak Era in Year of 2014 and I shopped for Flashwing for Collective Memoirs because she was my Ultra Favorite Gem Crystal Winged Dragon Character so I Premature Based my Fursona Ref Sheet Based on That Character for it's Hype Fashion Modelings and Et Cetera of the Worlds, I Genuinly so Cannot Wait of This Game titles IP to Rerisenings and bring up back into Actions!
Skylanders is such a beloved game to me, always has Been. I recently introduced My friends to it who Have also grown fond of The franchise and especially all The different characters!!
Never played it but anything to #Saveskylands/saveskylanders Cause lets all be honest the Dark and light characters were sidelined with Superchargers and we havent even gotten a starter pack with a dark element skylander.
Would be AMAZING if they do it the same way that the disney infinity game did it, with how they are digital, but make it so you have to unlock the different characters throughout the story.
I remember going into stores and just looking around and seeing all of the Skylanders in the toy section. It was an amazing experience and I wouldn't want it any other way. I hope these games make an amazing return to our lives. EVERYONE needs to play them and I hope to see them soon!!
Honestly, one of the first games I've ever played and in sparked that love for gaming that still hasn't burned out 10 years later. I miss it so much and I really hope that one day in the future, I'll be able to play Giants and any of the games in the series.
Those games also need your vote!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
