Now that it's October, it won't be long before Christmas is upon us, and the stress that comes with buying everybody's Christmas presents before the big day! Don't worry, we have the perfect present for you to give this December! Introducing the latest cool gadget, the Robo Fish. The Robo Fish is a pet with a difference. You no longer need to worry about keeping the fish tank clean, feeding your fish, and the heart break you feel when a pet passes away. The Robo Fish activates when it comes in contact with water, and deactivates when it is dried off. The perfect pet, as you only have it when you want it! An added bonus, is that it comes with batteries. Is there anything more annoying as a kid than when you open a new present on Christmas morning and your brand new amazing present needs batteries and you don't have any? Robo Fish even comes with SPARE batteries so you get double the playing time at no extra cost!

Now onto business. The Robo fish comes in several different styles and colours. If you are lucky enough to get one of these fabulous pet fish, you can choose from a lifelike robotic shark and the cute clown fish! Each of these styles comes in several colours including, orange, green, pink, blue, red and grey. With so many different choices there is bound to be a colour and style that suits everyone. Even better, you could collect all the Robo Fish and create your very own tropical fish tank.

The Shark Robo Fish swims and moves like a life like shark, with an aggressive and curious temperament. Whereas, the Clown Fish swims like a real life fish with a peaceful and semi-aggressive temperament. These little pet fish would be perfect for bath time with the kids. Obviously, we've all been children before, and i'm sure everyone will agree with me when I say we've all gone through that phase of refusing to bathe when we were younger. If only we had these Robo Fish for bath time, we would have needed no convincing in getting in the tub!

You can either buy the Robo Fish singly, or you can purchase a Robo Fish Playset - which comes with one Robo Fish, AND a fish bowl is included for your new fish to swim around in. The perfect start up kit, you will be well on your way to owning your very own tropical fish collection!

So lets wrap it up. The Robo Fish are perfect pets, they make no mess, don't need feeding and are activated and deactivated easily. Not only this but they make a great bath buddy and you can create your own tropical fish tank by collecting all of the styles and different colours. So what are you waiting for? Buy one for yourself, or as a gift for someone else - they provide hours of fun.

It is what you have all been waiting for, the new Micro Drone 2.0 Quadrocopter has finally arrived and is up on our online store now, check it out! It will available for purchase over the next few days so keep your eyes peeled. Make sure you are the first to have one! With Christmas just around the corner, (I know it is a little while yet, but we all know how quickly time flies, and it'll be upon us before we know it!) this is an ideal gift to give this year. With all the newly added features and additions, this is going to be a popular request from Santa by many.

Since there have been other blog posts on this new product, I have decided to provide you with 5 ways to use the new Micro Drone to your advantage

  1. Use your Quadrocopter to spy. Once the camera becomes available for the Micro Drone you can use your Quadro Copter to spy on people! Since you can fly continuously for 8 minutes, this gives you plenty of opportunity to bring out your inner detective! 
  2. Create a series of tricks for a display! Since the Quadrocoper is even better than the last, use its new features to your advantage. With even better control and stability you'll be a pro in no time, after a little bit of practice performing tricks with your Quadrocopter. 
  3. Have a race with fellow Quadrocopter owners. With the new increase in speed, who could resist showing off their remote control skills by having a race against a friend. You could even create an obstacle course to make things more challenging! No need to worry about damaging your Quadrocopter, because it is built with such a tough structure, it can withstand turbulence and the harshest landings! 
  4. Take your Quadrocopter to work. Use it to spy on other collegues at work and keep tabs on how much work they are really doing!
  5. Disturb someone's nap time. Annoyed at a sibling or family member because they keep on waking you up early in the morning? Wait until they are having a nap and get your revenge. Use your Quadrocopter to hover above their head and gently fly into them so they stir from their sleep. Every time they do wake up, quickly move Quadrocopter out of sight so they think they are dreaming. Perfect plan of revenge! 

As mentioned in a previous blog post, one of the new features to the Quadrocopter this year, is the ability to support a camera for photographic and videography use. However, the camera is sold separetly from the Quadrocopter and won't be available until the next couple of weeks. Plenty of time before christmas to put together this awesome present for someone! Whether you are buying this for yourself, or as a present for someone else - they will love it.

All of our hip young friends have forsaken us in favour of the Glastonbury festival this week. It's weird; everyone left on Tuesday, but we've checked online and it seems like there's no actual music until Friday. What are they doing in the meantime -twiddling their thumbs?

Oh well. This blog post is probably a bit late for Glastonbury-goers, but if you're attending any music festivals later this summer, then we've got a couple of fab festival products that no tent-dwelling music fan should be without:

  • Our Festival Feet are an innovative alternative to wellies. If you'd rather wear your usual, comfortable footwear when you're wandering around the festival site, simply put these protective covers over your shoes and head for the main stage, safe in the knowledge that your favourite shoes aren't getting ruined.

  • It can get pretty boring when you're waiting for the arena to open and the bands to start, so why not invest in a Wicked Wedge to lounge around on while you wait? This inflatable festival accessory is super-comfortable, and it puts you in the perfect position for a bit of light reading.

The 21st of June has been and gone, so we can now officially say that it's summertime. And that means long days, summery smells, and plenty of wonderful warm sunshine. Not that anyone here at Gadget Inspector will notice; we're all planning to spend our summers indoors, playing video games. Just like always!

So, will you be drawing the curtains and settling in for some spectacular console action this summer? And if so, which games will you be playing? With over 30 years of history to draw upon, there's an almost infinite selection of stuff for the summertime gamer to choose from, and we...what's that? You'll be playing nothing but Call of Duty from now until September? Oh.

War games might be all well and good for some people, but the Gadget Inspector office is populated with guys and gals who never really let go of their old games. This is why our gadget website is so chocka with retro gaming paraphernalia; we've got Tetris Lights coming out our ears, but there's not a Master Chief bobble head or a Nathan Drake bottle opener in sight. Perhaps this is something of an oversight on our part - a lot of people have played the Uncharted series, so a range of Nathan Drake gadgets might actually sell pretty well!

But our allegiance will always lie with retro games. Modern stuff is very impressive, and they've done very well to make everything look life-like and cinematic, but if we want something like that then we'll go to the pictures, thank you very much. Give us a pixellated wheel of cheese being chased around a labyrinth by four wide-eyed ghost thingies; give us an assortment of falling blocks that disappear when arranged in a certain way; give us simple, instantly playable, not-cinematic-but-still-incredibly-immersive gameplay any day of the week.

So that's why we're sticking with retro games. The day we acknowledge any game that was released this side of the millennium is the day we forget who we are. Enjoy your summers
