The Parrot AR.Drone is a major step forward in gaming.

It has a range of up to 50 metres, offers a generous 12 minutes flight time and can work in winds of up to 9mph, meaning you don’t need a perfectly sunny day (which is a rarity in the UK) to run it.

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.

Gone are the tiny one handed pistol guns that hold little more than a dribble of water and now we’ve gotten serious. There is of course nothing wrong with taking water fights seriously, there is a matter of pride at stake and you should arm yourselves with the best possible equipment possible. The AK47 Aqua fire should simply be billed as the daddy of all water-guns, and the daddy of water guns is what you shall be requiring for your water war.

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.

They say dolphins are pretty intelligent creatures, though sadly we are going to have to disagree. See If dolphins were indeed that intelligent, they’d have got themselves one of these nifty Bladefish Sea Scooters by now.. giving us the dolphin version of a couch potato we imagine, as it lazes it’s way through the ocean taking in the scenery. Diving is great, taking in the ocean from underwater is a magical experience, but all that exercise making us healthy as we swim down to depths of sea monsters? That’s just not for us.

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.

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.

Take one look at Rovio and you cannot help but be impressed. He’s a futuristic looking WiFi controlled robot complete with webcam and mic which looks like he’s been designed by NASA and in the year 2009, this is all pretty impressive. Interestingly one of the developers from NASA actually helped to design Rovio, so expect bits to fall off him whilst in use. He has an internal “Sat Nav” which allows you to store points that he can return to at the touch of a button along with the ability to return to it’s docking bay to recharge.

Described as a ” high velocity air cannon with laser targeting system” we’d say the reality is more “bucket that fires air, now with fantastic accuracy”. This new model could pick out Waldo in the middle of Manhattan. Whether you use the Laser Airzooka to knock cans off of a wall for target practice, or annoy your siblings or your cat with an unexpected blast of air, that unexpected “Rambo” feeling you get after every shot just cannot be beaten.

If you’ve never played with a toy like this, you should. The advert said ‘the helicopter you can fit in your pocket’ but we weren’t quite prepared for just how dinky the MX-1 really is. If Polly Pocket were a Columbian drug baron this would certainly be her vehicle of choice. She might use it to terrify the local villagers from her secret jungle hideout, but we just used it to terrify cats. And it really does fit in your pocket, controller and all.
