Looks like clones and imitations will always try their best to give the original products and brands a run for their money. Such in the case of the China-made Vii, an obvious clone of the Nintendo Wii.
I am certain that this will not take over the sales of the Wii because right now, Nintendo Wii has a bigger fan base and is almost close to saturating the virtual reality gaming or video game consoles alongside PS3 and Xbox. Continue reading ‘Vii: Nintendo’s Wii’s Closest Contender’

I can’t help grinning away to glory ever since I’ve heard about this technology. Well to get you started with the details, this great technology rids you off the worry of punching buttons throughout while playing your favourite video game. Instead what it gets you into is giving a really really good massage but strapping on that jacket into any volunteer’s back (I’m sure there would be many). The more you massage, the better the game would be. Continue reading ‘The Massage Me Jacket: I wouldn’t mind my bro playin video games now’

While Wii’s stark white design is undeniably classy, it’s also inevitable that some gamers, whose techie eyes are used to more eye-catching designs, may find Wii’s monochromatic facade rather “wishy-washy”. This is why the including those blue LEDs is a smart move by the Wii design team―they break the monotony without sacrificing Wii’s original sophisticated look. Yet even that may still not be enough. Let’s face it, aesthetic qualities may not affect the game itself, but having an impressive case surely adds to any owner’s pride. For Wii owners who like to keep it simple but prefers a different LED color, Talismoon offers DVD Gate kits which would enable gamers to easily swap those blue-blah LEDs for green or red ones.

Remember Snakes and Ladders? Yes, the traditional board game we used to play when we were still innocent with the ways of the world. Well, it has an adult version now—one that requires drinking. I don’t drink but I am pretty sure that both party and hard drinkers would love to play this.
The game can be highly addictive even sans the alcohol. The goal is still the same: reach the finish square by climbing ladders and avoiding the snakes. This game makeover, on the other hand, features many different twists such as ladders that allow you to jump forward or snakes that push you back several squares. The board game also forces the players to take a shot or pick a friend to take a shot. Or if you are ready for more fun action, try the ‘truth and dare’ challenges.
So just imagine how entertaining this board game would be when coupled with friends or your favorite vodka or tequila. Be careful though not get much booze into your system, otherwise, you won’t finish the game.
