Some parts light up with a soft glow thanks to a pair of AA batteries that are required but not included. The batteries don’t effect the gun’s charging, which is still done by pump action. The range of the projectiles didn’t quite reach 30 feet as promised on the box but we still had an awful lot of fun shooting Nerf darts across a darkened room. -Charlie Williams.

For instance, if you tumble Slim’s cube over and over, he will roll to each down-facing side with every turn-and may eventually get really angry with you. If you pick Scoop’s cube up and shake it, he will fall and flail about. There’s also a good chance he will get physically sick from all the motion. Collect and connect up to 16 cubes. But things get truly interesting when you connect the two cubes together using the magnetic contacts that are on four sides of each cube. The cubes can be placed side by side, or stacked one on top of the other for interactive enjoyment. While both Slim and Scoop have unique animations, once joined together, they will play with, pester, and even protect each other. For instance, Scoop’s dog will now fetch and return Slim’s stick. Or Slim will walk over to Scoop’s cube to pet his dog. Each cube side measures just under two inches. Other modes of play include music and games. When you turn the sound on, the figures will start dancing. When you start the game mode, you will interact with the stick character and see real-time results. The cube even tracks your high score. After four minutes of no interaction from you, Slim and Scoop will go into sleep mode, complete with animated snoring after they lay down. After another minute of no movement, the cube will shut off to help conserve battery power. When you’re ready to play again, simply press the "on" button for Slim and Scoop to appear. If you have multiple Cube World sets, you can connect up to 16 cubes in any vertical and/or horizontal configuration to see them all interact together (even if there are more than one of the same character). Since each cube can hold up to four stick figures, this makes for hours of unpredictable and thoroughly entertaining fun. Each cube runs on one CR2032 battery, which is included.

What you do with the information it reveals is between you - and the Mystifying Oracle! Game includes: Ouija board and plastic message indicator. For 2 players. If you've seen "The Exorcist" lately, the folks at Parker Brothers would like to extend a heartfelt "Captain Howdy-Ya-Do?" courtesy of their newly luminescent classic Ouija Board equipment. It's the same traditional setup as it was decades ago: the alphabet-and-numbers board with "Yes," "No," and "Good Bye" spelled out in turn-of-the-century mysterious script; the heart-shaped "Message Indicator Oracle" with the readout window; the numerous coy references to Ouija being "only a game-isn't it?" So if this edition seems to comprise a bit more plastic than we remember, the promise of the board and indicator glowing in the dark for half-an-hour (after exposure to lamplight for 10 minutes) more than makes up for it. Of course, in the dark you'll never know for sure whether the person across the board is the one pushing the indicator, now will you? -Tony Mason.
