There are so many versions of the Monopoly Board Game based on movies like Star Wars or other entertainment franchises. Practically every major university has a version of it. Since I went to Washington State University, I play Wazzuoploy.

However, just when you think the Monopoly board game has been done to death, Hasbro comes along and breathes new life to it with Monopoly City Streets.

This version of Monopoly doesn’t require renaming the original names of properties their franchise equivalents. In this version, the player is using Google maps, and buying properties on real streets.

Isn’t it strange that the video game that I should be playing is the one that I don’t play? I am, of course, referring to the Wii Fit, the wondrous little white box that allows me to work on my balance and exercise until I get my Wii Fitness age down to my actual age.

You’d have to play the Wii Fit to get that, and now Wii players can get the Wii Fit Plus. This enhanced version will have new features, exercise, yoga moves, and more balancing games. I’m not certain if there is any downloadable content, but it certainly should.

Those of you that love the FPS shooter games will fall even more in love with them with the Wireless Game Gun. As you can see by the You Tube video after the jump, someone has finally perfected a way of putting a screen on a motion controlled controller that resembles a military machine gun.

That someone is an engineer and inventor who is known all across the tech and gadget blogosphere as The Redneck Techie. The video shows him moving around the room and stalking in some “classic Tom Clancy” style with this unique gaming peripheral.

I never did understand a lot of these plug and play games that are available in toy departments? I mean, does the world really need a Spongebob game that uses his nose as a joystick?

Perhaps we should ask whether we need the Star Wars 5-in-1 Plug n Play TV Game, that uses the Millennium Falcon as a base. Sadly, the joystick protrudes in a very non-elegant fashion, unlike Spongebob’s nose.

The 5-in-1 in the product’s name refers to the 5 games based on Episodes 1, 2, and 3, the not-so better half of the Star Wars sexology. (That’s a group of six movies, you perverts.) The games are called names like Coruscsant Attack, Droid Invasion, Grievous Onslaught, Gunship Battle, and Utapau Attack.

Of course, you will need 4 AA batteries to keep the action going and you’ll need access to your AV RCA ports on your TV to get it working in the first place.
