If after reading this review you go on to buy the Ballz Cubed, don’t come back on here and complain that we didn’t warn you. Here let us make this clear: Ballz Cubed will result in less productivity at work, you will become more popular as everyone will want a play but you may lose your social life as putting it down isn’t easy. Now that we have the health warnings out of the way, well tell you exactly what Ballz Cubed is. Made of 216 individual magnetic balls, the aim of the puzzle is to function as many cool patterns as you can.

These wafer-thin, touch-sensitive guitars contain some pretty fancy ActiveGraphicsTM electronics so you can crank out chords and riffs with ease or play along to a number of preloaded, fully licensed tracks without any of that elusive talent malarkey, feigning musical competence has never been easier! The freestyle mode is briliant, but not for the untalented as it allows you to strum away to your hearts content and almost acts as a real guitar would with fantastic sound quality thanks to the built in speaker.

Whilst we appreciate the super fine detailing that has gone into crafting such a sweet looking RC car, it isn’t what we absolutely love about the Rapid RC Racing Car. Whilst we love that these cars are so small you can race them in confined spaces where normal RC cars wouldn’t be able to manoeuvre, that’s not what we absolutely love about the Rapid RC Racing Car either. We do like the headlights that come on during operation making racing in the dark a blast, but again it isn’t the one true thing that we absolutely love.

Offering twice the battery life of the iPhone, the MiLi is… well let’s face it, it’s genius. It doesn’t stop there either; the MiLi can charge two iPhones at one time.

The Syma S107 comes complete with built in gyroscope (ooohh, fancy) which puts an end the endless spinning witnessed by many RC Helicopters. We didn’t know what a gyroscope was either, but Google tells us it’s is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, which means we’re still actually none the wiser. What we do know is that a gyroscope combined with a RC helicopter is a perfect combination, delivering possibly the single most stabilized, easily manoeuvrable flight we’ve enjoyed in a long time.

The Stealth Undercover Laptop Sleeve is cleverly designed with all the marking’s you’d expect to see on your mail and takes laptops from 8″ right up to 17″, keeping them safe and secure using a well thought through Velcro strapping system… thingy. You can now sleep well at night knowing that your laptop is unlikely to be stolen unless the thieves in question have a fetish for manila envelopes, that or they’ve read this review of course. We like the Stealth Undercover Laptop sleeve and feel it would make an excellent gift.

We could think of little else we would rather do than play with a RC helicopter, then we we’re introduced to the Nighthawk Remote Control Helicopter and our eyes were well and truly opened. What’s special about this RC helicopter is that it allows you to fly in the dark, which is simply awesome! Decked out completely in black the Nighthawk comes complete with LEDs to light your flight path in the dark, adding a new dimension to RC helicopter flying.

The Pandigital Photo Scanner is a nifty gadget that allows you to scan your photographs with ease straight onto your computer or memory card that you can pop into your digital photo frame bringing back the memories of old instantly. A flatbad scanner is all well and good but does become a little tiresome trying to align your photos so they don’t come out depressingly wonky.

The great thing about having electronic candles is that you don’t have to get off your bum to light them, candle wax doesn’t ruin your windowsills or sideboards and there’s absolutely no chance of the curtains catching fire when a breeze flows through the window. You can also set the the timer to four or 8 hours, meaning you don’t have to remember to blow them out before you sleep.
