One of the reasons is because it touches on so many of the things that create a link between games and our TV and movie streaming habits. It’s fun to see all the games and toys that emerge as a result of this. Simultaneously, we discover longstanding pop culture franchises that are taking hold with a new generation.

What’s really exciting about this guide is that almost every one of the items featured here will be participating in our holiday giveaway promotion! As with all our guides, we’ve made it easy to learn about these items by providing an image, details and a link to where each item can be purchase.

  1. Dragon Prince or Robinhood both look fantastic and I would love to receive either of those :). Unmatched would be fun too.

  2. I’d most like “Unmatched: Little Red Riding Hood vs Beowulf” but would probably go with “ The Dragon Prince: Battlecharged” purely because that’d have a greater chance of being played by friends that have an interest in the show
