RoboRaptor - present day Tyrannosaurus Rex













Dinosaurs will once again rule the earth! Well, maybe not the earth but you can cause havoc in your living room with your very own remote control raptor! Imagine crossing a Velociraptor with the Terminator... actually don't imagine that it's not a very pleasant thought. The RoboRaptor is the creation of the former NASA scientist Mark Tilden, the brains behind the Robosapien. Except this time he's gone dino-crazy! The RoboRaptors length is over a whopping 80cm and is fully controllable using its sleek game controller style remote. You can either program the RoboRaptor to follow your every command or perhaps let it roam freely in autonomous mode. The impressive thing about the RoboRaptor is the way it moves. It uses fluid biomorphic motion giving it a very realistic effect.It also has touch sensors so it knows when you are interacting with it. So depending on which mode the RoboRaptor is using, will depend on whether you get a nasty bite or a friendly snuggle! The Robo Raptor is also a bit smarter than it's extinct predecessor too, check out this cool repto-gadget.

Sensible Soccer 2 Player Plug 'n' Play




You can keep your unfathomable footie sims, with their ludicrously complex controls. The Mega Drive classic Sensible Soccer is back, and this time it's been shoehorned into a smart two-player plug 'n' play system. Back of the net!The Sensible Soccer Plug 'n' Play plugs straight into your TV, allowing you to bend and spray the ball within minutes. No consoles or cartridges required! But that's not to say there's no depth to Sensible Soccer. No way Jose; this two-player baby is deeper than a Cantona (or should we say "Iric Centona") press statement because you can take charge of your favourite European club, Highbury, Milano or Manchester in a whole host of cup and league competitions. What's more, each player is skilled in a different department, so Tuny Edams and Frenco Beresi are best at the back while Peul Mirson and Merco Ven Besten will score goals all day for fun.

Pyramat Sound Rocker

Are you sitting comfortably? Good, because once you've read about the incredible Pyramat Sound Rocker you're going to be spending even more time sitting on your backside. That's because this state-of-the-art gaming seat lets you hear and feel the action from your video games, music and movies like never before.Thanks to three integrated speakers, the ergonomically designed Pyramat will transport you into a bone-shaking world of crash-bang-wallop sonics that make you feel like you're actually in the game.Swathed in soft PVC, it's also an incredibly comfortable place to park your rear during marathon gaming sessions.Twin 8 watt speakers in the Pyramat's headrest and a powerful 30 watt subwoofer located directly beneath your backside cause every bullet, blast and boot of the ball to pulsate around your entire body - something that has to be experienced to be believed! As well as gaming, the Pyramat Sound Rocker can be used to add oomph to your movies, and it is compatible with portable devices such as iPods and PSPs via a 3.5mm audio jack. Simply plug 'em into the input socket and you're away. This supremely sound piece of furniture is a must-have accessory for any self-respecting gamer with a penchant for awesome audio.

Laser Challenge Pro



Crack out the tough guy sci-fi quotes - it's time to do battle with this ludicrously sophisticated laser tag set. Featuring an accurate 'red dot' targeting system, LCD scoring screens, ultra-realistic removable scopes and a 75 metre range, it's the ultimate in laser-based warfare. Your move, creep!Engaging in laser-based warfare usually involves a cross-dimensional trip to a dystopian future where robots rule. Or a drive to one of those laser tag centres on a grim industrial estate off the motorway. But thanks to the amazing Laser Challenge Pro, you won't need to time travel or compare notes with a load of weekend warriors.This pro-standard battle set is loaded with hi-tech features and it completely redefines the concept of home/office laser tag. Why? Well for starters each gun features a unique 'red dot' laser targeting system (with a range of up to 75m), so you can see exactly where you're aiming. It's just like that bit in Predator when Mac sees a red dot on his arm before...blam! Well, you get the idea.

Bop It Extreme 2

From the people who brought you the legendary Bop-It Extreme, Bop-It Extreme 2 takes it to the next level. Now you can BOP IT! TWIST IT! PULL IT! SPIN IT! to a mix of four different music styles. Plus, the longer you play, the more the beats evolve and change. Can you keep up and Bop It to the Pop, Rock, Latin and R&B beats? Huh? Can you?More than just a cursory tweak of the winning formula, Bop It Extreme 2 represents a quantum leap in rhythmical gaming design.But wait, there's more...much more! Taking a cue from video game design where you can often 'unlock' new levels, with Bop It Extreme 2 you can now unlock new beats - the longer you play, the more the beats evolve and change. So as the tempo ramps up - try to keep up!ou can Bop-It solo and hone your skills and coordination in silence without driving your house or office-mates mad thanks to the handy headphone jack. (Alternatively, you could drive your neighbours insane by plugging Bop It into your Hi-Fi and cranking it up to eleven.)Much more fun than solo Bopping, however, is to go one-on-one with a friend, or get a group together and see who is the Bop-meister. Preferably in the pub. With three games in two modes there are six ways to play. Bop On!

Laserpod


Remember the nebulous, psychedelic sky from Flash Gordon? (We're talking 'Gordon's Alive?' Flash, not the rickety old B/W series). Well imagine looking at it through a kaleidoscope from inside Jim Morrison's altered state of mind and you'd begin to understand the mesmerizing beauty of the Laserpod. Yes indeed, light lovers; using the latest in laser, LED and crystal optics, the incredible Laserpod brings science and nature together to create ever-changing organic light forms of profound beauty. At least that's what it says on the box. But in this case, we'd have to agree.

Micro Mosquito Helicopter

If you thought chucking paper planes around the office was entertaining, wait till you see this bug-like chopper in action. The world's smallest fully-functional RC 'copter is a triumph of aeronautical design, and it's so incredibly manoeuvrable you'll be performing desktop fly-bys before you can say "Noel Edmonds".Do you know the name of the fastest pheasant plucker in the world? No, neither do we. But we can tell you the name of the world's smallest, lightest, quietest, fully-functional RC helicopter: it's called the Micro Mosquito.Speaking of ornithology, the Micro Mosquito is currently ruffling feathers throughout the world of RC aviation, as it is one of the most incredible flying machines ever to take to the skies. Weighing in at a mere 15g, this bug-like indoor 'copter is so small it can take off and land in the palm of your hand. Amazing!Thanks to its counter-rotating blades the Mosquito is astoundingly manoeuvrable. Once you get the hang of its twin-toggle, digital proportional transmitter you'll be buzzing around like a pro pilot. Up, down, hover, forwards, backwards, left, right - you name it. We just landed ours on the boss's head having taken off from the water cooler. Try doing that in a proper chopper. (Don't, you might decapitate someone).Ready to fly in the smallest of spaces straight out of the box, the Mosquito is powered via a charger that doubles up as a launch pad. A 45 minute juice-up will give you a full seven minutes or more of flying time - enough to hover around the ceiling, fly by the coffee table and buzz past the telly. This innovative triumph of micro-engineering even features a pair of green glowing 'eyes' - perfect for putting the willies up the cat when night falls.

Picoz Sky Challenger


RC helicopters? Armed with lasers? Capable of disabling each other's engines? No, we haven't lost our marbles, returned from the future or even overdosed on bad sci-fi; we've been playing with the amazing PicoZ Sky Challenger Battle Pack.Sky Challenger is the battling helicopter set that allows couch potato pilots to shoot down enemy whirlybirds with a well-placed infra red blast. If you remember the movie Blue Thunder starring him out of Jaws you'll know exactly what we mean.Actually if you do remember Blue Thunder you're too old to be playing 'woka-woka, I'm going down!' style games. But don't let that put you off because this is one of the most entertaining playthings in the history of pretend aerial warfare. Incredibly manoeuvrable with nifty auto stability, each rechargeable micro chopper can take off, hover, descend, turn left, right and move forward. And that's just as well because avoiding your opponent's laser requires some pretty fancy moves. If you do get hit your helicopter's motor temporarily cuts out causing it to spin towards terra firma. But fear not, PicoZ helicopters are surprisingly robust. Besides, once you've honed your skills you should be able to remain airborne and avoid biting the carpet.You and your opponent control the action via smart little handheld transmitters that double up as chargers. They even feature built-in speakers that rata-tat-tat every time you hit the fire button. Thrilling? Conducting mid-air battles with a pair of Sky Challengers is like...erm, well it's like nothing else around because even real helicopters have yet to add laser beams to their weaponry. And even when they do, you won't be able enjoy beam-blasting mid-air battles sitting on the sofa or loafing at your desk. So woka-woka are you waiting for? Look out, incoming 3 o'clock!
