Next time you want to give a gift card to someone as a birthday present but feel guilty doing so, you should instead, grab one of these puzzle vaults. The puzzle vault is a contraption that you slide a gift card in to and the only way the receiver can get the gift card out is by rolling a ball bearing around a maze to the end so that the door can be opened.

For those of you who have a short attention span, this study ball could be ideal for you. It’s an old ball and chain mixed with modern technology that keeps you attached to it till the timer has got to zero. The ball weighs a hefty 20.95 pounds which isn’t too heavy but still wouldn’t be easy to carry around for long periods of time if you had to crouch a little.
What you do is set the amount of study time that you have to do, attach it to your ankle and watch the clock count down. When it hits zero the shackle opens and you are free to go out. [click to continue…]
Sega have launched Storm-G which is a Wipeout style game but without the missiles and such. You are put in the ride and navigate down a futuristic bob-sleigh track.
The game is quite simple in that you need to get from start to finish without crashing. When you go around corners the whole ride rotates around an axis which when you go through tunnels you even find yourself upside down at points. Unfortunately only 2 courses are available at the moment which will hopefully be increased at a later date.
I had quite a laugh playing with Storm-G, but you may not spend days playing with it simply due to its lack of courses available (only 2), and also because this game is quite tiresome, after just 3 races (Hard Level) I was exhausted…
If you want to play the game now then head on over to Joypolis in Odaiba. If you don’t want to go there which we assume most wont then check out the video below of it in action.

Most people, if not all of you will remember driving around in a bumper car in your earlier years (if not still today). The problem was that you had to stay with in the boundaries of the bumper car track. Now the bumper car has broken these boundaries and is now named the bumper car car. These bumper cars are [click to continue…]
I remember getting a Bit Char-G a few years back when I noticed they had been selling in the shops and was amazed that I could waste a few hours driving it around my office desk and floor. The model I chose was the Nissan Skyline which I thought was cool at the time (still is 
). [click to continue…]
Since the day I first saw the multi touch screen on an iPhone I thought that multi touch was simply amazing. It still is! It just got better though with the introduction of a massive 8′ x 4′ multi touch wall capable of playing Missile Command. [click to continue…]
Table football is a game I never really got to grips with. Just the thought of having to think about too many things at once just confused me even more. With this latest table football game, I have NO chance. [click to continue…]
