The Parrot AR.Drone is a major step forward in gaming. Featuring gyroscopes, accelerometers, ultrasounds and visual input from downward facing cameras it is capable of maintaining its position and hovering at a height of up to three metres, stabalising itself and remaining hovering even if you let go of the controls! 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.

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.

Britain we are told, has talent. The only problem being that finding it is more difficult than tracking down the one remaining Dodo. Imagine if you will, you are sitting in your office and one of your beloved and very well respected colleagues comes up with yet another truly stupid idea. You have two ways of responding, nod along whilst thinking “this is never going to work” or doing what we’d all love to do in our every day lives and hit the big red X button letting them know that they really are a dimwit and are wasting your 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.

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.

The RC Zero Gravity Micro Car cleverly uses an internal air suction system which we can only presume was created by NASA to achieve its greatness and race along your walls or even upside down on your ceiling, which at first sight is quite confusing indeed! It will run for around 10 minutes and come with working head and tail lights allowing you to cruise along the ceiling at night, which we think is quite cool.
