Telekentic Obstacle Course – use your brain only to navigate the maze

Gaming & Toys, Gizmo of the Day / By /

Here’s another game that makes you use your brain (or is it brainwaves?) this time to navigate a maze. You wear a headset that has a headband and 2 earlobe clips. Yes it doesn’t look pretty, but it measures your theta wave activity and in turn sends wireless signals to the game.

The object is to move a ball around with fans, and platforms, while avoiding obstacles like chutes and baskets.

If this interests you, then you may be interested in the brain trainer and the Star Wars brain training game.

Gaming & Toys, Reviews / By /

The Geeks have been playing the new “G.I. JOE The Rise of Cobra” video game, and here are our impressions.

First off, we should state that we were big fans of the 1980’s incarnation of the toys and cartoons, and, while the movie this game is based on has gotten mixed reviews from both the the professional reviewers and fans, we found it generally entertaining. When we were offered the chance to review the game that tied in with the movie, we said sure! Anything to continue the story and help us re-live some of our boyhood fantasies.

Rubik’s Cube 360 – puzzle

Gaming & Toys, Gizmo of the Day / By /

Professor Rubik is at it again. This time, he has invented the potentially maddening Rubik’s Cube 360. The goal of the 360 is to guide 6 different colored balls into their matching compartments.

Simple, right? Not so fast. There are 3 concentric, transparent spheres that the balls can travel along, you have to spin the 360 and guide the balls.

Hours, if not years, of fun (?!) for under $20.

Settlers of Catan Board Game

Settlers of Catan

All board games are not created equal. The Settlers of Catan proves that point in droves. Now onto its 4th edition, SoC has taken the world by storm since its creation over 10 years ago.

In Settlers of Catan, you collect resources from different terrains in order to build roads, settlements and cities in order to win the game, which lasts anything up to 90 minutes – a little (possibly a lot) less strenuous than Monopoly.

Beginners and advanced players are catered for alike with separate instructions depending on what sort of difficulty you want to play at. All the resources collected in the game can be traded, adding a whole new dimension to gameplay. Hang on, this is starting to sound like just about every MMOPRG available online – now you can see why we’re featuring it! Perhaps the only downside is that you need 3 or 4 players to play, but then again everyone will want to join in with a game like this!

Teckell Glass Foosball Table

Teckell Glass Foosball Table

Recently we’ve found ways to bring retro products in to the modern world and this glass Foosball table by Teckell is no exception; it takes all the ‘traditional’ aspects of gameplay, and mixes it with extreme styling more fitting for today’s world.

The table is made out of glass walls and pitch, and has little wooden pegs for the players, with a basic white net at each side. Unknown is how well this stands up to the abuse I’ve seen doled out to foosball tables. I’ve been party to warping a few rods and breaking a few of those little soccer players!
