Disney and Gameloft's latest money making scheme - I use that word in gest here! - is Disney's Magical Kingdoms, a free-to-play game where you get to organize and build your own Magic Kingdom, complete with characters and some of your favorite Walt Disney rides and attractions.

Miitomo has been trending lately on all social media networks, and frankly, is getting mixed reviews. This shouldn't be surprising: some people will love it - and love to tell others about it - while many will also really hate - and be glad to let their opinions known.
