HexBug Newtons – Collectable Robot Insects are Freaky

by Jay Garrett on February 18, 2010

If ant-farms are a bit old hat, and you’re the type of person that enjoys freaking out their younger sister then here’s some gadgety creepy-crawlies that should fit the bill.

HexBug’s range has featured robotic ants and cyber crabs but now here’s their latest future-insect.

The HexBug Nano Newtons are small enough for you to see in the corner of your eye and have you reaching for a rolled-up newspaper.

They sprint around on rubber feet and go careering around the place like amphetamine crazed cockroach.

Their realistic movements go as far as being able to flip themselves back over if they end up on their backs.

~shudder~

The Newtons come in collectible test tube packages with various different genetic “mutations” (or colours to you and I).

Go to HexBug’s website and dish out $9.99

Check out the vid below and see one of the freaky habitats and the mentalist mini menaces!

by Jay Garrett on June 13, 2008

Guitar Hero DSYou’ve been waiting long enough and now it seems the moment is almost upon us!

Toys ‘R’ Us reckon that Guitar Hero for the Nintendo DS will be on their shelves in UK on 29 June.

This Ninti portable version will feature the same rhythm-based play-along-to-the-music vibe by using its very own peripheral – the “Guitar Grip”.

The Guitar Grip will give players the ability to hit those colourful chords in a similar fashion to the console version.

It’s going to be released in a special silver and black edition emblazened with the Guitar Hero logo. Studs and bullet belts will have to be added by your goodselves!

Now you can rock the riffs in your pocket – if anyone asks ;0,

Nintendo
