Flat Ryderz – The Ultimate Flat Racing Cars

memiah — Tue, 22 May 2007 11:00:43 +0000

When I think of toy racing cars the word ‘flat’ doesn’t normally cross my mind but here we have it – Flat Ryderz, the ultimate flat race cars! The toy is nothing like I’ve seen before, simply press the roof and the car goes from 3.5cm tall to 1cm flat in a split second. Press the tail and it pops back up into shape again.

You can place your Flat Ryder car into the launcher and race against other people, when you launch the car it is completely flat and when they’re fired out they grow again!

There are loads of different colours and designs to choose from and many accessories to make the race even more fun. See the official Flat Ryderz Website for information about prices and packages.

Wario Ware Smooth Moves Nintendo Wii

This fantastic interactive video game is wacky, hilarious and addictive. Wario Ware has been taken to a new level with this Smooth Moves version for the Nintendo Wii. The controller enables you to fully interact with the screen making it much more realistic than previous games.

You will be involved in all sorts of wacky moves such as chopping vegetables in mid air, dancing to a beat and balancing the remote on your head. The great part about it is you never know what’s going to happen next so you’re always surprised by the next game.

Wario Ware Smooth Moves consist of hundreds of microgames that only last about 5 seconds each. The initial game takes about 2 hours to complete but once completed you can play all the mini games. Let us know whether you’re a fan or whether this game thoroughly frustrates you! Available at Amazon.

If you are a Star Wars fan and you think you’ll enjoy fighting the evil characters then this toy could definitely be for you. You will need a TV with AV inputs and an RF adaptor in order for the game to work. You will also need 4 AA batteries, these are not included.

Using the Light Saber provided, you can fight alongside your favourite characters such as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn. You can fight the enemies such as The Emperor, Darth Maul and Darth Vader in many exciting battles. You will need to learn some Jedi skills if you want to beat this lot!

The toy is an interactive game and uses wireless technology to interact with the TV, all you need to do is plug the training droid into your TV, follow the adventures and start swinging your Light Saber.

Available from Amazon.com for $39.99 Amazon.co.uk for £29.79.

Nintendogs Assortment

memiah — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 14:16:21 +0000

This Christmas season Nintendogs is the ultimate gift you can buy anyone who owns a Nintendo DS or DS Lite. The game is genius and highly addictive once you start interacting with your little friend. The best part about the game has to be that you can own a puppy and have loads of fun with him or her without having to clean up poop or go walkies in the rain.

Choose your puppy then look after her as though she were real – feed her, clean her, take her for walks around the block, enter her into competitions and interact with other puppies using the built in wireless technology. Check the pups status to make sure she is always happy and healthy, if she’s not the status table will tell you what you need to do to make her happy!

There are four different Nintendog games to choose from: Chihuahua and friends, Dachshund and friends, Labrador and friends, and Dalmatian and friends. In the Dalmatian and friends game the choice is between Golden Retriever, Dalmatian, Beagle, Yorkshire Terrier, German Shepherd Dog and Boxer (I have this game). Buy from Amazon.com for only $29.99 (US) and Amazon.co.uk for approx £24.99 (UK only).
