Most people would agree that games today, no matter how good the graphics or how realistic the plot, just can’t compete with playing some of the original classics. Luckily the people at Atari have heard our cries, and released their “Greatest Hits” for Nintendo DS

We hardly need to explain what the games are, all you need to know is that the game comes packed with 41 of their best games from the Atari 2600 and their 9 top arcade games. No expense has been spared – even Pong is included in the set!

Here’s another no-batteries-needed game. If you fancy a bit of a change from Settlers of Catan (although we don’t know why you would) then Dixit makes a good alternative. The whole game is very well made, with a high level of attention to the graphics.

Each game takes around 30mins to play (unlike those epic Monopoly games) making it a great boredom-buster. There’s tons of replay value included too – don’t think it’s a game you can only play a few times!

The Solitaire Chess game appears to combine Solitaire and Chess, but really it’s just a good fun way of improving your chess and logic skills.

The game takes more fun aspect of chess that we all love – stealing the other person’s pieces – and builds a whole game around it.

I struggle to get up in the morning, but with a huge LEGO Darth Vader or Stormtrooper standing over my bed I know I’d get out of bed a lot faster.

These ironically cute alarm clock figures are based on their LEGO minifigure counterparts scaled up to 8 inches. Their chests double up as clocks.

For $30 you can get yourself one of these with batteries included.

(Oh yeah, you know we love alarm clocks!)

Wasn’t gaming so much more fun back in the day when we had joysticks (a al Atari 2600), so ThinkGeek have remedied this by getting hold of a USB joystick. This one’s got 8 directions and a fire button, all programmable.

Luckily ThinkGeek has provided us with a way to get Halo working on your computer too, never fear! Plug in the 4 controllers and you’re cooking.

Pricing is $25 for one or $40 for two.
