Erno Rubik, the Hungarian professor who created the Rubik’s Cube, has created the successor to the Cube. The new toy called Rubik’s 360 is set to be unveiled at a toy fair in Germany on Feb 5. The new game hopes to once more entertain the public this time featuring six balls trapped within three transparent plastic spheres. The objective is simple and has only one solution but requires skill, dexterity and patience.

Players must get the coloured balls from an inner sphere into matching slots on the outer sphere by shaking them through a middle sphere that has only two holes. Two-time British Cube-solving champion Dan Harris from Norfolk has a review of the Rubik’s 360.

If you’re a computer gamer, you’ve probably come across a lot of gadgets to make life more blissful while playing those PC games. Logitech, known for its keyboards and game pads, has decided to come up with yet another of those gadgets in the hope of making us all happy aside from the G13.

This next sequel to the Asphalt Racing mobile J2ME games from Gameloft is great. Better than the last Asphalt 3 mobile game which I played a lot. If you’re still contemplating on whether to buy the Asphalt 4: Elite Racing mobile game, stop hesitating and just buy the Asphalt 4 mobile game.

Starting off with the graphics of Asphalt 4: Elite Racing, even the menu has better graphics than the older Asphalt 3. The scenes are now in 3D. The 3D renders look good on the SE mobile phone I’m using. The buildings and race path are much better than the flat 2D look in Asphalt 3.
