Shawn Layden is the guy at Sony who goes on stage at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) or the PlayStation Experience event, wearing a T-shirt.

Activision’s blockbuster shooter goes back to its roots, and offers a solid if unsurprising experience, but the three elements within feel like wildly different games
Call of Duty is one of the biggest games franchises in the world and, on some levels, the funniest. The way that CoD: WWII was marketed suggests an interactive Saving Private Ryan. The reality is that my Axis coach shouts “zey haff ze ball” in multiplayer NFL-like Gridiron, as an opposition carrier runs towards our goal, before a period-appropriate hail of fire brings them down. “Gut, now drive forwardz!”
If that gave you tonal whiplash, try playing the thing. CoD: WWII is three games in one. A single-player campaign that shows a unit of US soldiers winning the war; online competitive multiplayer with a dozen modes; and then Nazi Zombies. Call of Duty is a series with annual releases, with multiple development studios working on staggered schedules. As a result, it has crystallised into a certain structure.

The creation mode extends beyond a basic selection of head, body and arms to defining a catchphrase, voice and even aura for your Skylander. This gets you started before you head into the game proper and start collecting more parts to apply at will - you can pause the game at any point and jump back into editing your creations. It's an incredibly flexible system, so much so that it has spawned hugely popular videos on YouTube where over-enthusiastic vloggers recreate favourite heroes and characters using the various available parts. Some of them are impressively realistic and testament to how much power the Imaginators creator tool offers.
