Left for Dead 2

Although we're not sure what bananas have to do with word games, we love the bright yellow banana carrier that the letter tiles for Bananagrams come in.

Sony Playstation 3 80GB
There's a lot of competition out there among gaming systems. Aside from using them to play games, they also all throw in their own added features. We've had our eye on the Sony Playstation 3 because of its built-in Blu-ray player. It has been out for a while now, but we were happy to learn that, just recently, Sony decided to lower the price. You still get 80GB of hard disk storage, Internet ready... more
Halloween Jenga
If you're looking for a variety of games to entertain guests at your Halloween party, this holiday-themed game of Jenga fits the bill. Not only are the blocks in orange and black, but they have appropriate sentiments like "Boo!" and "Trick or Treat" to add to the fun. The dice even glow in the dark, but we can testify that playing Jenga without lights can be disastrous for lamps, knickknacks and other guests.

Make the Scene
In a poll some years ago, Pew Research found that more Americans could name Homer and Maggie Simpson's kids, but not so many were able to name the five freedoms mentioned in the 1st Amendment.

It's pretty simple -- you watch the clips from popular shows and try to answer the challenges first but only... more

Razorback Bristle Dart Board
