Toys Games & Hobbies

With the holidays right around the proverbial corner, it’s time to start thinking about decorations, gifts, and, of course, all those prerequisite parties. If you happen to be throwing your own shindig this season, let me help you out with the evening’s fun and entertainment. Here’s my list of Top Party Games for the Holidays.

If you enjoy complex mechanical projects, STEM learning toys, or super friendly (and highly interactive) robots, then you'll love the Meccano Meccanoid XL 2.0 Personal Robot. This bot, which is the newly updated version of last year's Meccanoid G15 KS, has over 3000 pre-programmed phrases & numerous other features that you can learn all about by reading my review. If this interests you, then click on through!

Click through to see my latest review. It's of the Traxxas Slash 2-WD racing truck, which is a 1/10th scale radio controlled vehicle with speed, power, and a bit of a wild side. The results of my testing were somewhat mixed, but the Slash is most definitely worth a serious look to any RC hobbyist. Come on in and check it out!

Games are a great way to bring everyone together. Whether it’s a group of kids playing game of Monopoly or four adults betting pennies and playing Texas Hold’em, great memories are made and fun is had by all. With the holidays coming, set up a games room where you, your family and your loved ones can relax and have fun!

Have you been hankering to gaze up at the night sky and search for shooting stars, heavenly bodies, and possibly alien life that will take you away from this crazy world? Well, if you see a telescope in your future, but you don’t know anything about them, let me give you five tips for buying your first telescope.

Join me inside for a look at 3 awesome telescopes that are sure to serve as excellent Christmas gifts this year. These entry level telescopes are perfect for beginning and amateur astronomers, and, due to their many great features, these scopes make serious stargazing far easier than it's ever been before!

Come fly with me today as I examine the amazing LaTrax Alias Quadcopter Drone. I can't say I love this drone as much as the Parrot Mambo that I recently reviewed, but if you're a serious drone enthusiast with piloting skills to match, then you're almost guaranteed to enjoy the Alias immensely. It's not the easiest drone to control at times, but it's sure rewarding when you begin to get the hang of it. Click through to read on.

For Parrot, the Bebop 2 was an incremental improvement over the original, focusing primarily on battery life, flight stability and improved optics. While the drone still hasn’t changed since it launched, how it flies now has with the FPV bundle it comes with. Using the new SkyController 2 and CockpitGlasses headset, flying it looks and feels very different from before.
