At Target and a monstrosity leaps out at me!
Well as the title says I was walking through Target yesterday and at the end of one of the toy isles (and right next to electronics) and I behold Tiger's new venture into gaming http://www.hasbro.com/tiger/netjet/defa ... t_id=19091 looks pretty generic to me, and kinda like a waste of money. I vouch for keeping all my old game systems to train kids on some day, those little whipper snappers will need a good schooling in 2D platforming and shmups! Anyway though, I thought it was interesting looking enough to at least tell you guys to take a look at the display while in your favorite Big Box store, games inside a controller seem like what's in for the cheap crowd these days but this thing looks like it may download the games on your PC, way weird for a $20 device IMHO. Stick to the shockwave games please...

The kart racing game is actually well received and the marble maze fans say the marblexp game is worth the $30 or so you have to shell out for the device. I almost bought one just to see what is inside, but thought better of it. Now if you needed a decent controller for the pc, and did not want to use an adapter or 360 controller, it may be worth it. I would like to see its durability however.
I see a decent amount of hackability here - shame I really dont care that much about it.
