The same company that brought us live action Duck Hunter showed off a skeet shooting prototype at CES back in January, and it seems that the product is now available for purchase.
Like the Duck Hunter game before it, the targets register and react to hits from the IR gun. In this case, disks are shot up to 7-feet in the air at either 2-second or 10-second intervals. When a target is “hit”, it will break apart into two pieces.

I can’t believe it took this long to make a board game based on The Princess Bride—but here you have it. Storming the Castle: The Princess Bride Card Game.
Playing as Westley, Buttercup, Inigo, or Fezzik, you’ll race your adversaries traversing your Path Tiles to get to the castle. But you’ll have to make sure you have the proper Tactic Cards to get you onto each tile. Maybe you’ll even play a card that will add Path Tiles to your opponent’s path. Inconceivable? Not in the least! Storm the castle, save the princess (even if you are the princess), and win the game. Add your own favorite quotes as you play, and Storming the Castle: The Princess Bride Game is some of the best fun you’ll ever have. Ever.
If you like Yahtzee, you’ll love this Super Mario version. It features dice decorated with power-ups and a question box dice cup.

Awww hell, here we go. Sometime early next month, THQ Wireless will unleash the Bluetooth-enabled Star Wars: Lightsaber Duel app on the iPhone, allowing nerds the world over to engage in virtual lightsaber battles anytime, anywhere.
The inevitable follow-up to THQ’s Lightsaber Unleashed app will also feature 11 new Star Wars characters and the ability to create custom characters as well. No word yet on how much the app will cost, but my guess is that price will be no object on this one.
