Say What?

from: Radica Games



This is a great Game of memory and good listening ability.

Simple phrases and sayings that one would think easy to recall, but what leads to the confusion, is remembering where you heard which word and under which light of that particular phrase!

As always, this is another great quality Game from Radica:

Highly recommended fun!

Eyeclops

from: Vivid Imaginations

August 20, 2007
This is amazing! The picture detail is fantastic whether on a modern digital TV or Nanny's old portable.
The Eyeclops delighted old and young alike this christmas and was so easy to use. If you don't have one, get one, you won't regret it. I have been an Amazon customer for years and have never felt compelled to write a review on any product until now, it's just that good!!

Roboquad

from: Character Options


Don't get me wrong, this is a lot of fun and okay for the age ranges advertised. But it is isn't fast or zippy enough to appeal to younger kids (under 10s, I think).

At the moment, the price tag of £35 (down from £70 originally!) is spot on and makes this good value. It is programmable, but few are likely to experiment much with it, due to the clunky (ie. simple) interface on the controller. Most of the fun is to be had from the demos, direct manual control as well as the 'autonomous' mode; all via the basic and fairly robust controller.

The Roboquad itself does have limitations, even beyond some which I had forseen. It doesn't function optimally on soft surfaces (eg. carpet) and naturally will have similar problems ... Read More:

Funkeys Starter Pack - Lotus and Deuce

from: Radica Games


UB Funkeys are Great. They are the best game for the PC and they are going to be THE game to get this Christmas! They are for any age from about 6 up, my little sister likes playing and so does my Mum! You get a big Funkey (the hub) that plugs into the USB port of your pc and then there are loads of other other smaller Funkey characters to collect, which sit on the shoulders of the hub (really cute). You play the game, creating a virtual world with different areas and games for each of the different types of Funkey. You have your own Crib which you decorate and fill with different items you pick up along the way as you play the game. Its really fab and really addictive and all my friends want one!

Fur Real Friends - Squawkers Mccaw Parrot

from: Hasbro


This was a present last Christmas and is still regularly played with now (July). It looks and moves quite realistically (for example responding when you stroke it's beak) and is a talking point when people visit, especially as it repeats phrases they say (and makes rude noises at inopportune moments, which children find very funny for some reason). Quite an expensive gift, but seems to have lasting value and appeal.

Funkeys Starter Pack - Scratch and Twinx

from: Radica Games


My son loves computers and electronic gadgets. At first I was sceptical but he has had lots of fun with it. It has also inspired some nice ideas from him which I have told him he should send to the funkey manufacturers. He even spent the night designing and making a mini rucksack for his funkeys back. I think its a great toy.

National Geographic - Children's Digital Metal Detector

from: Trends Uk Ltd


Our son was brought this for his birthday - it did pick up large items that we hovered over (i.e. the telephone, the alarm clock etc.) but couldn't pick up our wedding rings or anything small - and if there was anything between the detector and the item - nothing. Not much good when the whole point is to find buried things!! Very disappointing as a working item - more like a "let's pretend" toy. :(
