Lonpos Pyramid and Rectangle Game

The more cerebral ones among you would probably find puzzle games to be a joy to attempt, be it wordplays like crosswords, or something that requires your motor skills such as the Rubik’s Cube, you are all a kindred spirit. Here is yet another puzzle game that is touted to build your brain power while keeping boredom at bay – the Lonpos Pyramid and Rectangle Game (personally, I would choose a Nintendo DS and the entire Ace Attorney series as it offers a whole lot more humor, but hey – to each his/her own).

If you want to dive into its 2D rectangle games, just locate the problem in the booklet which you would like to have a go at, place the game pieces on the board according to the illustration, followed by fitting the leftover pieces into the remaining spaces. 3D games require one to set up the pyramid according to the illustration in the booklet, followed by fitting the remaining pieces in order to complete the pyramid, placing you in the shoes of all those slaves thousands of years ago as they were involved in the backbreaking work of constructing a pyramid. Sounds like a snap, eh? Not eally, since there are 360,984 2D rectangles and 2,592 3D pyramids which can be completed, guaranteed to offer you plenty of sleepless nights.

Mac vs. PC Chess Set

The battle has been going on for ages - or maybe just years. Either way, it looks like it's here to stay - The Battle of the Operating Systems; The OS Wars; or just simply Mac vs. PC.

However you like to call it, either side seems dead set on outdoing the other (I'm not one to complain, that only means more cool gadgets for us, right?).

Designer Adam Frederick capitalized on the OS wars and created a chess set made up of Apple and Microsoft pieces. From the design image, you can see Mac and PC products such as Zune, Xbox, netbooks, desktops, and iPods all lined up and ready to battle it out.

Hopefully a toy company picks up this concept soon - and that Adam Frederick polishes his creation a bit. Oh, and I'm hoping the "next edition" of the Mac vs. PC chess set features Steve Jobs and Bill Gates as kings.

Wii Bowling Ball Controller

As if people can't get enough of throwing things at their TV set while playing Nintendo Wii, a firm called CTA Digital has come up with an innovative way to enjoy playing the hugely popular gaming console even more. Playing bowling on the Wii won't be the same without a bowling ball on hand. That is why they came up with just the thing- a Wii bowling ball controller.

The Wii bowling ball can make playing bowling games even feel more realistic by having a ball in hand for a controller. This unique bowling controller is composed of a realistic ball that can be opened in half where users may be able to put the Wii controller inside. It has buttons on the outside surface of the ball which can be used to navigate while playing the bowling game on the Wii. There are also three holes where users can put their fingers in, just like an actual bowling ball.

The motion of trying to roll the Wii bowling ball controller gives a more realistic feel to the game. The actual motions can be recreated without the fingers being released from the bowling ball itself. In fact, the makers of the Wii bowling ball controller insist that users do not try to release the ball in actual bowling fashion. The proper motions would be enough. But for those who might get in the mood for some actual bowling action using this unique controller, a wrist attachment is provided to prevent any accidental damage when released.

The 3D Balance Control Ball

If you're the type of person who's heavy on brain training and intellectual fun, then this new toy ball is definitely for you.

The 3D Balance Control Ball is a tactical 3D maze that would undoubtedly keep you occupied and entertained for a while, but probably not as occupied as you would be with a Rubik's Cube. Nevertheless, this 7.5 inches ball is very educational and is guaranteed to improve your rusting problem-solving skills.

Buy it now and get stuck in understanding 3D visual space and movement. For $15, I'd say the 3D Balance Control Intellect Ball is worth a shot.
