In an age where fun is generally obtained in front of a television set or computer monitor, it is good to see that good clean fun still exists.

The Kaiserbaas Digital Photo Frame isn't going to fit among a traditional photo frame collection and is more likely to find a home at a work desk or beside a PC. The output display is pleasant enough at a sufficient distance, but its extra features like audio playback and video display fall short of justifying the price.

A novel idea, and one that works pretty well, but we can't help thinking it's a little overpriced.

The Smart Globe does have some minor problems, but the price is very reasonable, and it also offers live update via the Internet, making it an ideal tool to help children learn about the world.

The wow factor of the Electronic Banking edition is very appealing and this Monopoly still provides hours of fun, but we prefer the previous version with play cash.

While this is a reasonably funky device that offers a variety of witty robot one-liners, media playback and some extensive functionality, some of its features could be better implemented, and it commands a price tag that will scare off many potential buyers.

The RoboReptile isn’t all that different from its prehistoric cousin, although the few improvements are definitely welcomed.

A funky, original device that takes the radio into the next millennium.

More than just a volume knob, the PowerMate is a fully programmable USB peripheral that has a number of useful features.

The Philips Digital Photo Display is perfect for someone with a little money to burn who wants something that looks funky and technologically advanced on their mantel.

The DVD is largely uneventful and you'll be quickly frustrated by seeing the same questions over and over again. Stick to the original version as you'll more than likely stop using the DVD after a couple of games anyway.

Both reasonably priced and educational, DVD MagIQ is an excellent choice for young children
