The LEGO Group is launching the amazing collection of premium constructible board games that can be built, played and changed, delivering a whole new way for families to have fun together. Not only is there a variety of fun and exciting games to play – guessing, strategy, memory, logic and chance – LEGO Games let children build their own game experience, change the rules and create a new reason to play over and over again – no two game experiences are ever the same. LEGO Games take the LEGO experience to a whole new level, providing everything to start building and playing, including a customizable LEGO Dice, building instructions for the kids, game play instructions for the parents and rules that can always be tweaked for the individual family that is playing. Ten games will be launched in 2010. Five of them will be available next month (March).

Spin Master brings us the Air Hogs Vectron Wave – a hand-size UFO that is unlike any flying machine ever seen before. It is equipped with a state-of-the-art leel sensor so it can sense objects below it and will automatically adjust its height accordingly to hover above them. It doesn’t need a remote control. Rather – it is guided by a wave of the hand (or any other object – even the top of your head!). For more fun, toss it back and forth with friends for the most extreme game of catch ever played. Ages: 8 and up |
iXL from Fisher Price is a dynamic, multi-app, smart device for kids that puts learning fun into the ultimate handheld gadget. It includes six great applications in one: Story Book features animated stories to help pre-schoolers learn how to read. 
The Game Player is preloaded with a classic arcade game they can play at three levels to learn more about numbers. The Music Player features a learning song. The Art Studio has stampers, backgrounds and other things they can use to create their own masterpieces. A Note Book helps with their penmanship. And they have their very own Photo Album. Kids can customize their login name for personalized play – so they can see their name appear in the story and elsewhere. iXL is PC and MAC compatible.
The Pop Goes Froggio Game from Hasbro adds a new friend to the Elefun and Friends line. Fun-loving Froggio comes to life as the game takes picture finding to new heights. In this active matching game, played on the floor, preschoolers spread lily pads of Elefun and his friends around the room, spin the spinner and try to find the matching picture. The first preschooler to match the Elefun and Friends character to the right lily pad gets to stomp on the big green lily pad launcher nad send Froggio for a triumphant leap! The game gets kids to really move – and have fun at the same time.
There's a brand new line of Barbie I Can Be dolls, which builds on Barbie's 50 year reputation of inspiring girls to "try on" different roles and careers.

All encourage girls to play out their dreams, and now they can extend their play from the living room floor to the computer: each doll comes with a code that unlocks exclusive games themed to that specific career on Barbie.com.
