You Gotta Git This Game!

The infamous Ghettopoly Board Game

Buying stolen properties, pimpin hoes, building crack houses and projects, paying protection money and getting car jacked are some of the elements of this controversial game.

Not dope enough?...If you don't have the money that you owe to the loan shark you might just land yourself in da Emergency Room.

Ghettopoly is a Monopoly parody that mixes Monopoly-like mechanics with the outrageous stereotypes of Gangsta Rap.

The four railroad properties are replaced by liquor stores. Other properties include Ling Ling’s Massage Parlour, Smitty’s XXX Peep Show and Tyron’s Gun Shop.

The Community Chest and Chance squares become Ghetto Stash and Hustle squares. "You are a little short on loot, so you decided to stick up a bank. Collect $75," the card says. "You got your whole neighborhood addicted to crack. Collect $50 from each playa," says another.

Taxation squares are replaced by police shakedown and carjacking squares.

Instead of building houses and hotels, property owners can build crack houses and projects.

Ghettopoly is not very PC but it sure is a lot of fun.

And don’t forget: In the near future, we’re all going to be living in the ghetto. So prepare yourself for street life and check out Ghettopoly!

Ages: 13+
2 – 7 playas

Go Ballistic! Paintballistic!

Paintball is a great sport for people of all ages and it’s becoming one of the fastest growing sports in the UK.

It's currently the third most participated in extreme sport in the world with over 12 million players worldwide!

Paintball is so popular, it has even been included in a shortlist of five sports being considered for the 2012 Olympics.

Paintball is a competitive game played to win. Paintball can be like an adult version of “Tag”, only without being boring.

The most common Paintball game is "Capture the Flag". The object of this game is to go out and capture the other team's flag while protecting your own. You must do this without getting hit by a paintball. If a paintball hits you and leaves a paint mark, you are out of the game.

Paintball can be played with as few as one person (“Paintball Roulette”) or as many as 999. A game can last 10 minutes or even a whole weekend.

Paintball is an easy and safe sport and being hit by a paintball doesn’t hurt at all when you wear protective clothing. But even when a shot does hurt, it’s usually just a quick sting and you’ll forget about it a split second later.

Unfortunately you can’t play Paintball everywhere. For instance you can’t play it in shopping malls, libraries, hospitals, or on board of passenger planes!

Yet there are hundreds of commercial Paintball fields all over the country. Paintball sites often have lots of obstacles like tires or old cars set up for combatants to hide behind to make the game even more challenging. For a few quid you can play all day.

You can also play Paintball in your own backyard or in the woods.

Some good advice: never, never ever play Paintball in your own living room. The paint might ruin your expensive white Italian designer couch!

Paintball is one of the safest activities out there. It requires specific gear like a paintball marker gun, goggles to protect your eyes, and paintballs to shoot at your opponents.

There are hundreds of different ways to play Paintball, but there’s one thing that’s always the same: it’s an incredible adrenaline rush. It's like being part of a real-life video game!

So, are you man enough to compete in a game of Paintball or are you just a big wimp who's afraid of a little paint?

What are you waiting for? Get your Paintball equipment at Redsave.com now:

"Exterminate! Exterminate!"

Two new Doctor Who episodes, “Daleks in Manhattan” and “Evolution of the Daleks” featuring the popular oversized salt shakers will air on 21 and 28 April 2007.

The Daleks are the Doctor's ultimate enemy. They despise all other living creatures and will exterminate anything and everything they come across... without exception!

Everybody loves those cute killing machines and – guess what - now you can own your very own Daleks!

Radio Controlled Dr Who Dalek

Yes, it’s a remote controlled, 'talking' Dalek that will roam around in your lounge or office!

A must for all true Doctor Who fans!

The 12" realistic looking Dalek has full movement control and comes with a poseable illuminated eye, poseable exterminator gun and flashing communication lights.

The little terror spouts all the famous Dalek phrases like "Seek, locate, annihilate!","You will obey the Daleks! Obey! Obey!" and of course the classic "Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!”

Get your own Radio Controlled Dalek now and terrify your family, pets or co-workers.

Dalek Talking Alarm Clock

Disguised as a seemingly harmless alarm clock, the little darling will stand on your bedside locker, watch over your sleep and wake you every morning, by lighting up and chirping one of three typical Dalek catchphrases:"Exterminate!", "You would make a good Dalek!", or "You are an enemy of the Daleks, you must be destroyed."

If you don’t jump out of bed immediately the Dalek might exterminate you!

Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver

Authentic replica of Doctor Who's trusty Sonic Device. The Sonic Screwdriver’s most common function is to operate virtually any lock to open doors for escape or exploration. It has also been used for repairing equipment, as an offensive weapon against the Daleks or Cybermen, and occasionally even to drive screws.

Unfortunately this inexpensive replica Sonic Screwdriver doesn’t have all the aforementioned fantastic features but it is shaped like the Doctor’s handy Sonic Screwdriver and a blue beam of light emits from it.

It makes a perfect gift for Doctor Who fans!
