The Skylanders games, which let you guide quirky characters through colorful levels to antagonize a cackling villain, probably aren't for you, or at least not you playing solo. Just not the someones I suspect are reading these words. Bear that in mind as I'm relaying my impressions of Skylanders Imaginators, this fall's entry in Activision and Toys for Bob's wireless figurine mega-franchise, out October 16 for current and last-gen consoles. Put another way, toy-to-life games investigated by fortysomethings benefit from playing with kids. I've thus been working through Imaginators with my 4-year-old son, who's over the moon because, well, video games.
