Helicopters are cool, especially when they are remote controlled. Mix two RC helicopters together with a game of laser tag and you are on to a winner. This set of helicopters has just that. You have 2 helicopters which are armed with a transmitter and sensor. If one shoots the other then the injured helicopter quickly looses power and falls to the ground dead. This could give hours of entertainment. The only sucky side of all this is that RC helicopter battery life generally isn’t that long.

With the release of Transformers the movie coming sometime soon, a range of Transformers watches have been revealed. Unfortunately the watches do not completely transform, but they do have a couple of cool selections for you to browse. The ones that I like are the Optimus Prime watch and the LED Transformers watch. Both look cool. No price has been set for the watches made by Seiko, but we do know they should be available in a couple of weeks on the 2nd June which will be in plenty of time for the release of the movie.

Tetris has been a well known game over the years since it was introduced. For a long time there have been variations of this game hitting the game shelves in stores. The latest has been built by Spark Fun and is created from 240 buttons which have LEDs behind them. To play the game you touch to the left of the piece to make it move left, touch to the right to make it move right and hit the top to rotate the piece. Its a tad larger then your Nintendo Gameboys version and makes for a very hands on game of Tetris. One more picture after the jump.
