Atari Flashback Portable by Ami Kealoha
Because we think old school games are more fun, we like this upcoming Atari Flashback Portable that bests previous flashbacks by going mobile. The compact package holds dozens of Atari games and requires no cartridges. What's more, all games are uploaded using a USB port (although there aren't any details yet on how that will happen) and it has two ports for joysticks, enabling two-player games. Designed by Curt Vendel (who also heads up the online Atari History Museum), the unit will run on three AAA batteries giving it a 15-hour life and it includes an AV output for TV or headphones. There's no word yet on when it will come out, but we bet it will be at least in time for the holidays.

The major drawback is that they're unplayable, but it doesn't...

Apple TV v2
Adding a few capabilities that help realize its full potential, the newly-launched version of Apple's computer-to-TV entertainment software is a massive improvement over the original. The biggest plus for aesthetes like us is the 1080p output which means you can stream HD movies, TV shows and podcasts (including featured titles like CHV!) with little more than a click in iTunes (TV and movies will...

Monome
Since the multi-use controller Monome first came out a few years back, it's slowly gained a cult following thanks to its attractive and flexible design.

Tetrical
Tetris is one of the most straight-forward video games ever invented. It's also one of the most challenging, even with only two dimensions to worry about. Tetrical kicks it up another level by adding a third dimension. Try really hard not to go all German kid on your computer when playing this....
