Deluxe TV Etch a Sketch

TV Etch a Sketch

So, what the hell? Etch a Sketch was a great toy, but a TV version? Is that what we’ve come to? Can I ask any more questions? At least it’s less than $7.

To answer one question: Yes, to clear the screen you shake the controller. Seriously.

Wii Finder

Nintendo WiiOne of our favorite unique gift ideas sites just came out with a new tool to make getting those hard-to-find gifts that much easier.  The good folks at GiftBee.com came out with this cool thing called the In Stock Gift Finder, and it apparently searches (in real time) all the sites out there that offer hard to find gifts like the Nintendo Wii, and let’s you know when they are available.  It’s really cool, and it really works!  I finally got my Wii!

Log On Stacking Game

Log On Stacking GameSwitching gears for today, we found this great game for ages 4 and up at Uncommon Goods.  Called Log On, you simply try to stack the log bits as high as you can, but it isn’t as easy as it looks!  Great for families!

Rubik’s Revolution – It’s Frustration Time!

Rubik's RevolutionI still fondly remember the original Rubik’s Cube.  The best I could ever do was finish two sides, but I might be willing to give the new Rubik’s Revolution a shot.  Similar to the original, the Revolution has lights, sounds and a voice effect built in, and they’ve build six new games into the little gadget.  It comes out this summer, just in time to make it onto Christmas lists!

Remote Controlled Sumo Wrestlers

RC Sumo WrestlersIt’s about time somebody came out with remote controlled sumo wrestlers!  Not only are these great for ramming into each other, but they both also randomly yell out either “Hakke-yoi” or “Nokotta” to make the match a little more fun.
