The latest Skylanders wants you to view your tablet as a first-class game machine

No game as big as Skylanders: Trap Team has tried a simultaneous launch on consoles and tablets.

The cross-platform release for the latest in the collectible toy action-adventure game series is an effort by developer Toys for Bob to make tablets “first class citizens” when it comes to mainstream game quality. When a major game released on mobile or tablet version in the past, it’s usually been a downgraded port in terms of graphical fidelity and gameplay features. And most of these ports arrive at least six months after the main console launch.
