Hasta La Gadget!

I know that when it comes to summer, most parents would prefer their kids to spend their time outdoors, and if they were indoors even, playing video games is not the best way to occupy one’s holidays. After all, one gets to shed physical energy in the great outdoors, and it also does help with the socializing bit in the long run. If your kids really insist on playing indoors, why not sit them down with a board game of sorts instead? All right, so their attention span is so short, they need something electronic thrown into the mix, and I guess this is where the $29.99 Laser Maze Beam-Bending Logic Game is able to step in.

You could say that the Laser Maze Beam-Bending Logic Game is a sort of solitaire-type game, albeit it has lasers as part of the setup. You basically have to guide the laser beam through a series of mind-busting mazes, and the game ought to last for a fair amount of time as it comes with 60 cards that span different skill levels, ranging from beginner to expert. This is a single-player game which was specially designed by the very same people behind Khet and Rush Hour.

I am quite sure that all gamers who consider themselves seriously would have had a go at Space Invaders in one form or another in the past, but this time around, we have something which could very well take the cake where the uniqueness of gaming is concerned – in the form of the $12.99 Space Invaders Keychain Game. With this unique keychain, it not only holds all of your precious keys in a single bunch, it will also allow you to kill some time without requiring the need to carry around a smartphone.

Basically, the Space Invaders Keychain Game is a different take from that of a regular “Whack A Mole” game, as the invaders are depicted by a slew of buttons, and whenever these buttons light up, all you need to do is smash the respective buttons, and the invasion will be prevented. To add to the authentic feel of the old era of video games, actual sound effects from Space Invaders are thrown into the mix. I think that most adept gamers will most probably “complete” this game fairly quickly and easily, since it comes with just three levels of challenging fun.

How many of you out there grew up on a diet of the X-Files? You know, that eerie intro music coupled with a blurry image of a UFO hovering around on the now classic poster with the words “I Want To Believe” emblazoned all over. How about freaking out your neighbors with the $24.99 Alien Flyer R/C? For those of you who have already watched Man of Steel, you would realize that the way to spook someone out of their comfort zone would be through the introduction of some aliens into their lives.

With the Alien Flyer R/C, you will be able to fly your very own pet alien all over the neighborhood, as long as it remains within range of the remote control, of course. This particular alien will not perform any anal probes on abducted humans or cows, but rather, he has just three functions that he will respond to – namely Up, Down, and Light. An infrared sensor port also lets him hover in a creepy alien kind of way, and the entire shebang will run on a quartet of AAA batteries instead of some form of sustainable energy cultivated from alien sources.

I cannot believe it that it has been more than a decade already that the Pokemon game series has been released, and it does seem to be going strong even until this day. Having said that, there has been plenty of Pokemons that have endeared themselves to to different folks, but Pikachu has garnered quite a fair number of followers to date. Should you love this little yellow electric type Pokemon, you can get hold of this $34.99 R/C Pokemon Pikachu, which is capable of bending at its waist, racing around as long as its quartet of AA batteries still have juice in them.

With the R/C Pokemon Pikachu, you will be able to do your bit to become the World’s Greatest R/C Pokemon Master, although there is not much “glory” attached to such a title. This is another marketing ploy to have you collect ‘em all, all over again. Too bad the batteries cannot be used to electrocute someone whom you do not like in the room, though. Not only that, there are no candies that you can feed your Pikachu with in order to have it gain a special ability, other than to keel over and die when the batteries run out.

In this day and age, we all carry our fair share of gadgets wherever we go – and one important aspect of this would be to ensure that our gadgets remain fully charged so that we will not be caught unawares when the situation arises and we need to make that all important phone call or send an email. With the $149.99 PowerPot Thermoelectric Generator, it is one device that will be able to take heat and turn it into power, which would then be able to juice up any USB device using a heat source.

The PowerPot Thermoelectric Generator has a 5W output, and is the perfect companion for backpackers, hunters, and basically those who do not mind roughing it out in the wild for a few days on end without a single power outlet in sight. Definitely the perfect addition to any emergency kit, and just in case you are worried that your plugged in device might actually burst into flames, fret not, as the cord is flame-resistant by itself, and is said to be able to chrage just as fast as it does from a standard outlet.
