Sometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. If a product addresses a problem, provides a use, makes things better, I am all for it…especially when it comes to gaming.
I recently downloaded a Sega All Stars racing game for the iPod. It’s not a bad little number, but it became apparent immediately that I was struggling with the handling.
Something wasn’t right.
About a week later, I got a Zygnett Zooom to try out. I knew if this was going to work, I should try it with the racing game.
Like I said, sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. My performance shot up drastically. A better controlled driving experience.
Simply speaking, the Zooom is a case that houses your iPhone (or iPod Touch) and has two sturdy, ergonomically designed grips meaning the iPhone can be turned, twisted or tilted at any angle.
The Zooom comes with two faceplates so it can be used with both the iPhone 3GS or iPhone 3G and the iPod Touch.
This could be the perfect iPhone Christmas gift this year, it is available from amazon.co.uk for only £24.99.
From my experience, this comes recommended.
Disney Pixar’s Cars 2 has been released and hasn’t disappointed. Along with the Summer block buster comes a whole range of Cars 2 related products.
Some really nifty products include the video game accessories from Thrustmaster, absolutely perfect for the Cars 2 video game release.

Cars 2 DS Pack and the Cars 2 DS Projector Stylus £16.99 and £5.99 respectively. The stylus projects an image of Lightning McQueen and Francesco Bernoulli onto the wall! It’s simple to use: the projection stays on while you hold down the button, and turns off when you let it go. The stylus is compatible with all DS consoles, including the latest edition: the 3DS™.
The Cars 2 DS pack is a great gift option. For DS® Lite, DS®i or 3DS™, it features the projector stylus described above as well as a protective case for the console – which opens via a secret code – featuring an eye-catching relief design and carbon-textured accents, an anti-static cleaning cloth with the images of Lightning and Francesco, and a set of stickers of all your favorite Cars characters.

If you still like retro game’s like you used to get on the old Sega Megadrive, then you might just like this app - Jersey GTL. It’s such a simple and addictive game with plenty of obstacles to overcome.
Simply manoeuvre your Guido along the Jersey boardwalk and keep him rolling through a gauntlet of obstacles. You need to dodge people, like the girls, collect items, get a tan, plus loads more!
I do recommend this app for an easy and addictive play. If you don’t like it, then someone else will; my little boy is getting quite good at it!
