CONSUMER ELECTRONIC SHOW (CES) 2009: GAMING ROUND UP

CES 2009 showed off its fair share of cool gadgets but the ones we review here were especially mind blowing!

Sure Shot Rifle for the Wii

There were some interesting console add-ons like the Sure Shot Rifle for the Wii (from CTA Digital) which can be dis-assembled into three types of guns, or the Cooking Mama Wii add-on, which contains a variety of kitchen utensils, from the Wii spatula to the Wii-frying pan.
Sure Shot integrates both the Wiimote and the Nunchuck very neatly into the top of the device which then takse over the functionality with buttons along the side of the gun.The Price tag is around $60.



Gaming using mind waves!

Mindflex from Mattel, a bizarre game that aped the telekinesis powers we're accustomed to seeing in movies not real life.Using theta mind waves you control the height of a sponge ball and move it around a track.

The ball is placed over a fan which reacts to your level of concentration via the headset that you wear, and the idea is that the harder you think, the higher it rises.

The Mindflex has to be the ultimate gadget of the show, which is no surprise, seeing as the kids section outperformed every other area in levels of interest and innovation. Mattel's Mind Flex comes in the footsteps of Emotiv, a helmet-like headset developed by Emotiv Systems last year, which claimed to let users control game characters with their thoughts.

XRocker Thunder

Thunder is a gaming platform that you stand on while playing Guitar Hero as it actually vibrates with every note you play, increasing your enjoyment no end.

Now you can take the runaway gaming hit on the road. But don’t let its small size fool you—there’s plenty of thunder in this pocket-sized rocker. Includes 10 of your favorite songs from Guitar Hero I & II, including Smoke on the Water, You’ve Got Another Thing Coming and Cherry Pie.


Emperor Workstation

Fully customisable with the kind of seating you get on Virgin's First Class, this featured three 19in LCD screens with surround sound, so you can totally immerse yourself in whatever game you choose.

Add to this an integrated air filter system and the option to change the colour of the LED panels and you'll never want to leave its cosy confines.

The Emperor has three large monitors for a panoramic view, THX Dolby surround sound, air filtering, light therapy (so you can get a tan without having to go out under the sun), webcam, battery backup and other niceties. It can be built to order with a desktop Mac or PC, as well as the biggest docking station ever for laptops. If u are a budget gamer, this is definitely not for you.
