PottyGlow ensures you do not miss The PottyGlow looks more at home in a haunted house as it definitely adds the overall charm to such a decrepit place, but it will also make a good present for those who are old enough to wake up many times over the course of a night just because their plumbing system is not what it used to be. This seat glows bright enough for us men not to miss, and yet it glows at just the right, soft levels to ensure you will be able to go straight back to sleep once you're done with your business.

Shocking autopsy game

Shocking autopsy game

Playing doctor can be fun what with scantily dressed nurses and all that, but there are some of us who have a more morbid side who will revel in performing autopsies instead. The Shocking Autopsy game will definitely prove to be a lot of fun, where you have to retrieve various weapons ranging from axes and shurikens embedded into the cadaver of a murdered thug. One wrong move will send an electric shock coursing through your body, passing the turn over to the other team. Sounds painful indeed. As for me and my house, I'll stick to Trauma Center: Under the Knife for the Nintendo DS, thank you very much. Gadget Box is offering the Shocking Autopsy game for £13.99.

PogoDrive alerts drivers in advance

It is interesting to note that Europe seems to be getting the bulk of GPS navigation systems that contain data with regard to the locations of the many speed cameras, danger zones, and accident hotspots that dot the continent. Are European drivers just prone to speeding, or is it the thoughtfulness of the respective governments to introduce such devices that aim to lower the overall accident rate on their roads? Whatever the case is, this £350 PogoDrive from Pogo GPS contains over 100,000 co-ordinates of speed cameras, danger zones, average speed cameras, and accident hotspots for the discerning U.K. driver. In addition, you also get detailed street-level mapping of major European roads courtesy of Navteq. More features on the navigation software are available after the jump.

Piano Wizard helps tots play

post from Ubergizmo on 04 March 2007 11:18:38 PM. © Ubergizmo

Piano Wizard helps tots play Piano lessons aren't cheap - just ask any parent who has to scrimp and save to send their tiny tots to such classes. Unfortunately, not all children are interested in learning music, but there is a tool that could help pique their interest. The Piano Wizard is a rhythm-based game that goes along the lines of Beatmania and Guitar Hero, offering notes which fly vertically toward a horizontal bar. The child is supposed to play the note at the exact moment where both intersect, with the keyboard as a controller instead of a gamepad. You can import virtually any MIDI track into the Piano Wizard, making the replayability of such a title very high. I might be musically deaf, but I still managed to complete Elite Beat Agents on my DS Lite. That ought to count for something, right?
