• From TIE Crawlers to Muscle Cars: Three Must-Have LEGO Sets for the Holidays

  Just in time for the holidays, the brickmasters general at LEGO have rolled out several new and hard-to-find sets, all of which look to be as awesome for kids in the 7+ age range as they are for the grown-ups who'll ultimately end up building the things.

• Lamaze Dream Screen Lets You Mix Your Own Lullabies

  A great idea in concept, crib soothers can be a nightmare, figuratively speaking, when you get 'em out of the box. They never seem to fit actual crib rails as seamlessly as they do in commercials, and their motors and music can be so loud and tinny that they wind up being anything but soothing for babies. The Lamaze Dream Screen ($39.99 at Amazon.com) promises to remedy at least one of those issues, with an MP3 input that allows you to customize your own sleepytime mix for continuous play. If you're not the gadgety type, there's also a built-in soothing soundtrack to accompany the characters on the dual-motion screen.

• Video Games: Crash of the Titans Ships for Multiple Platforms

  Crash Bandicoot made his debut 11 years ago on the Sony PlayStation, which means that, assuming my math is right, many of us hadn't started breeding when we first got down with the mischievous, planet-saving marsupial. Today, 14 games into the Crash series, the game's developers are still writing code with us in mind: See the Clash of the Titans and (in the game itself) Brokeback Mountain references in the new Crash of the Titans, both guaranteed to soar over our kids' heads while we giggle into our cupped hands. (Screen shots and more after the jump.) Read More...
