Boom Boom Balloon Review

Boom Boom Balloon Review

It's amazing how much variety we find in kids' games these days. There are the mentally stimulating board games, the physically challenging activity games, the highly strenuous team sports, the equally challenging video games… Really, the list seems endless. Sometimes, the options could be overwhelming that many kids revert to old-school entertainment and games. Like balloons, for instance. Or, to be more precise, the simple act of popping balloons. That is the concept played around with by Boom Boom Balloon.

Features of Boom Boom Balloon

Boom Boom Balloon package consists of one frame, a 6-sided die, 10 balloons, and several sticks.

The goal is simple enough. One balloon will be placed in the frame, and the one who pops it loses.

First, the balloon will be placed in the frame. Then all the sticks will have to be inserted into the holes strategically placed in the frame. The players will then roll the die and push in the corresponding number of sticks that appear in their die roll. Pushing the sticks will increase the chances that the balloon will pop and the player will lose.

There is no specific age group for Boom Boom Balloon, although it is rated for children above 8 years old. However, it sure is a fun game for the whole family.

What We Did Not Like About Boom Boom Balloon

Some children may be sensitive to the loud sound of the balloon popping. There is also the fact that only 10 balloons were included in the package, although buying more balloons is easy and inexpensive enough. They could have added more than 10 balloons.

Is Boom Boom Balloon Worth Your Money?

$19.99 is definitely reasonable enough for a game that can be enjoyed by the whole family. No hook-ups and electronic connections are necessary, so that saves a lot on energy cost. Although there is a need to buy replacement balloons, they are not that costly, so yes, Boom Boom Balloon is definitely worth your money.

The Walking Dead Risk Board Game Review

If we are going to name a few of the games created by Hasbro since it started, one of the names that would instantly come to mind is Risk. In fact, it is so popular that, even now, it's still a household name and has even had tie-ins with television shows and films. It is no wonder, then, that Hasbro has released another Risk-related game: The Walking Dead Risk Board Game.

is based on the wildly successful TV show about a plucky group struggling to survive a zombie apocalypse.

Features of the Walking Dead Risk Board Game

The Walking Dead is a television show about a group of unique and gutsy individuals who are trying to fight for survival during a zombie apocalypse. This scenario already involves a lot of risk for the characters (no pun intended). Merging the principle of the classic Risk game into this scenario is what makes this board game unique.

The Walking Dead Risk Board Game provides a map of southwest United States, featuring the landmarks seen on the show. Characters from the show are also included, and it will be up to the players to fight (or play) for control of this universe, all the while trying to evade and ward off zombies.

Strategy is key in board games, and this particular board game ups the ante by providing players more opportunities to plot and plan, using a new deck of Supply Cards.

This board game is slated for release on July 2013, and it is designed for fans of the show, fans of the classic game, and generally those who love playing with board games.

Cloud Robot Review

Robots have always been a perennial favorite among kids, especially little boys. This passion often sees them through their adulthood, which just goes to show how much impact they make. One of the classic toy robots in the past, Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, fulfilled little boys' fantasies of facing off against an opponent inside a boxing ring, albeit with the use of toy robots they control. The concept of boxing robots has also crossed over into other media, such as movies, books, and television. In the tradition of those movies featuring controlled robots, Cloud Robots has been developed.

Features of Cloud Robots

Basically, Cloud Robots is a game utilizing an old concept but executed in a technologically modern manner – through a video game. Instead of an actual boxing ring with actual robots controlled manually, you will have an app installed on your iPad or iPhone. The robots will then be fighting against each other inside a special boxing ring in the style of a video game.

You can keep track of your scores during the boxing match. Another feature is its online connectivity, which means you can go online and challenge other players and their robots to boxing matches.

Robots and boxing fans would definitely fall in line to buy Cloud Robots. The target market of this product are expected to own iPads, iPhones and can afford the (likely to be) high cost of Cloud Robots.

Price and Guarantees

As of yet, there is no price or official warranties and guarantees announced by the makers of Cloud Robots, although it is likely that they will cost quite a mint. No word yet on when the official release date will be, either.

What We Like About Cloud Robots

Robots boxing against each other in your gadgets? Who would say no to that? Combining robotics technology with smart phone and internet technology has made what used to be an old-school game much more impressive and fun. The interface is also impressive, and will make you feel as though you're watching an actual film featuring robots.

What We Did Not Like About Cloud Robot

The Hungary-based developers of this game said it themselves: Cloud Robot is not going to come cheap. Of course, since this game involves robots in a boxing ring, expect some violence issues, so parents are advised to be more vigilant when letting their kids play this game.

Is Cloud Robot Worth Your Money?

It cannot be said conclusively whether Cloud Robots will be worth your money since the price is not yet revealed. But if you are passionate about robots and video games, this will definitely be worth your money.

Where You Can Purchase Cloud Robot

Seeing as the release date and price of Cloud Robots is yet unknown, there is also no word on where it would make its first appearance once it is officially released for sale. It is, however, highly likely that it will be sold in their website, as well as in major online retailers, such as website.

Customer Reviews for Cloud Robot

There are no official reviews yet, but anticipation is high for Cloud Robots!

BotSee Product Review

A tablet stand and an interactive toy with different personalities packaged like a robot. That is BotSee in a nutshell.

What is BotSee?

As a tablet stand, it comes with arms that can be adjusted accordingly to hold almost any kind of tablet securely in place. As a toy, it is interactive and stirs children's imaginations while increasing their learning ability. All you have to do is download the app and connect to BotSee. However, it remains functional even without using your tablet or iPad.

While BotSee may just appear to be a tablet stand it is in fact much more than that. Each BotSee is uniquely made and they learn and evolve while children play with them, so each one develops their own personalities.

Children will definitely have a ball going through the many game modes BotSee has to offer. In the spirit of combining entertainment and learning, the games are designed to stimulate children's learning processes.

For example, a food game will have the child has to pair images of various food items, thereby focusing on developing his or her cognitive recognition. The same is true with the alphabet game where BotSee will give a letter and the child would have to find the matching card. Or it could be the other way around: the child will indicate a specific letter, and BotSee will display a corresponding image. This give-and-take interaction is something you can associate with a teacher-student relationship.

The child will also be able to learn about colours through an interactive colouring game. Similarly, the child's ability to identify musical sounds created by different types of musical instruments would also be vastly improved. With just a simple tweak of the settings, you could make BotSee belt out "The Wheels on the Bus" with a saxophone and drums as accompaniment.

BotSee was designed with children 3 years old and above, or those in their early formative years, in mind.

How Much is the BotSee?

Digital entertainment producer and BotSee creator WowWee has not released any retail price for this product as of yet. BotSee's tentative date of release is the third quarter of 2013, specifically on August.

Are there Guarantees?

WowWee has not given any information yet as to any guarantees or warranties for this product.

Thumbs Up on the BotSee

So many toys these days come with features that are so advanced they are almost complicated to operate, especially for a 3- or 4-year old. BotSee, fortunately, is very kid-friendly. Operating BotSee does not require any use of a stylus or touch screen technology, so scratches or damage on the screen is not a cause for concern. With a simple turn of its ear, the child can switch through the different game modes and choose any game they want to play.

Portability is also a major thumbs up for BotSee, thanks to a handle at the back, allowing parents and children to bring it anywhere. Since it also comes with a storage case for the cards, losing them won't be a problem. The adjustability of the arms is a major plus, allowing it to be used with almost all types and sizes of tablets, regardless of the brand or manufacturer.

It is important for toys – especially educational ones – to capture the attention of children for them to be effective. The robot design of BotSee is cute, fun and colourful. It is also notable how the face of the robot can express various "emotions" with several eyebrow movements as well as colour changes in the eyes.

The child could also improve his pronunciation and enunciation of words, thanks to the speaking and sound feature of BotSee. Now THAT is truly interactive.

Thumbs Down on the BotSee

If there is one complaint against BotSee, it is the choice of material for the cards and cubes. They could have chosen a material more sturdy and child-proof than the paper that was used. They are prone to damage, especially in the hands of children.

More Customer Reviews for the BotSee

There are no customer reviews for this product yet. However, judging from the response during the sneak-peek for BotSee during the Toy Fair in February 2013, interest is high, especially among parents and teachers involved in early child development.

Is the BotSee Worth the Money?

The absence of a sales price makes it difficult to tell whether this is a good buy or not. Considering its benefits when it comes to your child's growth and development, however, any price would be well worth it.

Where Can You Buy BotSee?

Almost all major toy stores and online retailers are expected to hold BotSee for sale once it is released during the third quarter of this year. Of course, you can also make your purchase directly from the WowWee website.

With so very little to go on – only a few photographs – it is hard to tell which exact features or aspects is worth noting about the Mr Fusion Replica. But if we were to base our initial judgment on the quality of work of Diamond Select Toys when it comes to creating these replicas from the Back to the Future movies, there is an assurance that it will be close to the actual home nuclear reactor we've grown to love in the films.

The developers and manufacturers of the replica are also keeping the communication lines open and listening to the input of their target audience, so hopes are high that the final product will be highly satisfactory.

What We Did Not Like About the Mr Fusion Replica

Initial impressions from hardcore fans of the movie derived from the photographs released during the New York Toy Fair involved irregularities with the base and screw holes that are out of place. Let us hope that these are immediately rectified by the manufacturers.

Is The Mr Fusion Replica Worth Your Money?

Without an official price yet, it's difficult to conclude whether or not it is worth your money. But if you are a huge fan of the movie franchise, you may not care as much about how much it'll cost you.

Where To Buy Mr Fusion Replica

Expect Mr Fusion to be in major toy stores and retail stores that sell film and movie memorabilias upon its release. You may also find it at major online stores, such as website.

Customer Reviews for the Mr Fusion Replica
