Father’s Day Gift Idea: Cisco Umi – giveaway

Father’s Day Gift Idea: Cisco Umi – giveaway

Ever since Cisco announced Umi [amazon] I’ve wanted one – its just perfect for a family like ours – I have in-laws that are across the country and we try to use skype and facetime without much luck from time to time but I think something sooo simple as being plugged into the TV should make it so much easier to get connected for the grandsparents to have a virtual playdate.

Father’s Day: Cisco ūmi connects family and friends, even during the busiest times. It’s a new way for the whole family to get together and chat – whether they’re around the corner or across the country. Cisco ūmi connects to any HD television and broadband internet connection to deliver a video communications experience through your TV and from the comfort of your living room with such amazing clarity it feels as if everyone is in the same room.

With Cisco ūmi’s interoperability with Google Video, traveling dads who are often on the road can use their PC or MAC to share all the moments at home from bedtime stories to blowing a good night kiss.

Starting on June 5th through June 19th, you can buy a Cisco ūmi and get a second unit FREE. Additional details on the Buy One Get One Free promotion will be available http://www.cisco.com/go/umibogo. Cisco ūmi carries a SRP of $499 (for 1080p video quality) or $399 (for 720p video quality), with an annual service fee of $99.

And to that end – we’re giving away 2 Cisco Umi units.

How to win it… Contest ends 11:59pm EST. June 18th, 2011.
Tell us who you’d connect with if you won the two units and please include some method for us to contact you in the comment (twitter or email). We’ll randomly pick someone to win.

You get 1 extra entry for tweeting about this contest (you can do this daily). Must contain the following information: @Ciscoumi @dadarocks – http://dad.tc/m7XsvR and you must also comment with the link to your twitter message.

Body and Brain Connection for Xbox 360 Kinect by NAMCO Bandai Games Review and Giveaway

Body and Brain Connection for Xbox 360 Kinect by NAMCO Bandai Games Review and Giveaway

Body and Brain Connection [http://amzn.to/iswHrW] is the first Brain Training game available on Xbox 360 with Kinect, and the only game worldwide to integrate cerebral and physical challenges for the optimal gaming experience. And given its multiplayer mode and ease of use, whole families can enjoy and receive the benefits of Body and Brain Connection’s myriad of mini-games, challenges and exercises.

Exercise your brain…with your body!
Developed under the supervision of renowned Japanese neuroscientist Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, Body and Brain Connection revolutionizes the mega-popular Brain Training genre he helped originate with an all-new, unique blend of physical and cerebral challenges. With Dr. Kawashima’s latest research proving that brain activity is augmented by physical movement, Body and Brain Connection challenges players to exercise both their minds and bodies with fun, fast-paced mini-games ranging from math, logic and memory to reflex and physical-orientation exercises.

Key Game Features

  • Fun For All Ages and Brains – With no controllers necessary and an E-for-Everyone rating, Body and Brain Connection brings whole families together regardless of age or skill level!
  • Doctor Approved – Dr. Kawashima, originator of the Brain Training genre, has supervised and approved every aspect of Body and Brain Connection, guaranteeing it’s as fun and challenging as it is cutting-edge!
  • Unparalleled Replay Value – Combining 4-player competition and 20 exercises with the full-motion capabilities of the Xbox 360® Kinect™ Sensor, Body and Brain Connection ensures hours of replayability!
  • First Brain Training Title on Xbox 360 with Kinect – Body and Brain Connection is the only game of its kind on Xbox 360 with Kinect and the first Xbox 360 with Kinect release for Namco, delivering a wholly unique experience to an entirely new audience!
  • Robust In-Game Tracking – Body and Brain Connection boasts persistent data tracking and exercises that can be customized for individuals as well as groups, ensuring a fun, engaging experience for all!

The game makes you think and move all at the same time – its a little tough at times and certainly not for kids younger then 6.  I enjoyed the game play value and it certainly got me into rivalry with my wife fast enough.  There are some challenges that I just found really hard myself but I have been playing with it seeing if I can improve my “brain age” so there is a replay value there…. but I think its ideally great for having friends over and playing it like a party game or being able to show off the kinects skills.
