Toy Test is a yearly survey that aims to determine what will be popular during the holiday season. This year, 11,000 kids were surveyed after being allowed to play 63 titles setup in a special Toy Test arcade in Seattle.

“Since many hit video games are rather violent, we set a few rules: no shooting and no stabbing of human characters on-screen. Nothing in our “Toy Test” arcade could be rated higher than teen. Players got to test drive a title for up to 20 minutes. Then they rated the game for us from terrible to most excellent.”
