Toys Games & Hobbies

The best toys have multiple great benefits. They not only provide hours of imaginative fun, but they also engage kids in ways that are wonderfully educational!

There’s a huge mass of Star Wars geeks out there (myself included) watching every move Disney and J.J Abrams make as a new crop of Star Wars releases draws ever closer. If there’s one thing guaranteed to get the attention of these Star Wars fans, it’s a peek at what Abrams is working on. And if there’s one thing guaranteed to get pop culture geeks in general in a froth, it’s a mash-up between franchises. J.J. Abrams just managed both in one shot with his HUNKA JUNK YouTube clip of the new Millennium Falcon from his forthcoming Star Wars film—with a very unexpected Easter egg.  

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.

Today we ask the question, should you get an electric bicycle? In doing so, we'll explore just what these bikes can do, check out a few fun models, and hopefully answer the big question.

The LeapFrog Touch & Learn World Map is a great product for younger kids. Not only is it fun to play, but it is educational as well!

If you are into toys, tech, gadgets, software, or any and all of the above, you might just want to lean in a little closer. Touted as ‘The first video game in the real world’ Anki Drive may just blow your mind. Real cars with really intellegent AI, play against friends, or the smartest little cars you ever met in a head to head battle around a large race track that actually takes up space in your house. Score points, level up, upgrade your machines, its all there, and all with the added bonus of having a cool toy to show off.  It’s Anki Drive folks, and its a heck of a lotta fun.

If you're a fan of Traxxas, just wait till you see the amazing Traxxas Blast! It's the super fast speedboat that's guaranteed to feed your need for speed!
