Suduko

One of the latest crazes taking the UK by storm is the game "Suduko", where you have to complete lines of consecutive numbers in a grid, so that each number appears only once in the line (and once in each 3x3 sub grid). The recent success of this game has to be due in part to the success of TV show, "Street Cred Suduko".

The name "Suduko" is Japanese, and means single. The game itself, however, was not created in Japan, but in the US. It is believed to have been created by a man called Walter Mackey, who created puzzles for Dell Publishing, based in New York. He created the game in the 1970's - the game did not become popular in Japan until the mid 1980's.

Space Invaders

Space Invaders has proved itself to be able to stand the test of time. Originally bursting onto the scene in 1978, via arcade machines that hungrily ate 10p pieces, it was our job to stop the invaders from space destroying our defences and completing their mission. The graphics were crude, the colour was absent and the game play was very repetitive. Modern games are far more sophisticated and the graphics are far more pleasing to the eye, and yet... Some of us hanker back to the days of Space Invaders, where you didn't need to play online, find cheats, spend ages learning the controls or read an instruction booklet (what's one of those? ed).

Now with this handy "plug 'n' play" device from Firebox, you can not only play Space Invaders on your TV, but also play Phoenix, Lunar Rescue and other memorable games from your youth!

Robosapien V2

Robosapien is the toy that big boys and little boys alike wanted for Christmas in 2004. It was a highly sophisticated device that can see, hear and speak. However, Robosapien is now old news, because Robosapien V2 has landed. Robosapien V2 is much bigger than the original Robosapien. However, the main difference with this version of Robosapien is the autoroam function, which allows the robot to respond to your commands, recognise you, walk around avoiding obstacles, issue commands to Robopet and Roboraptor and much more.

The Turds

Maybe it's just my sense of humour, but I have to say, "The Turds" range has brought a smile to my face. You can now buy a whole range of collectable ornaments based on, er, turds. The range includes turd figurines, plush turds, micro turds and other accessories such as turd fridge magnets, keyrings, and other sh*t. My question is though, regarding the figurines, is it now true that you can indeed polish a turd? View "The Turds" here.
