Clue goes geek with Dungeons and Dragons Edition

Clue goes geek with Dungeons and Dragons EditionSay you’re a Clue fan who finds the game a little stale after so many years and you also really really love D&D. Here’s what you need to get yourself this Christmas. Find out who killed the Archmage. Any of the 6 players could be the evil doppleganger.

Was it Tordek the Dwarf Fighter with the Flaming Battle Axe in the Library of Arcane Tomes? Or maybe it was Lidda the Halfling Rogue with the Dagger of Venom in the Magical Armory? Or perhaps Nebin the Gnome Wizard with the Mace of Disruption in the Chamber of Tricks & Traps?

It’s as if thousands of geek minds suddenly cried out, at the prospect. But in agony or ecstasy? The game is like standard Clue but with a D&D twist. All the rooms, weapons, and characters have been changed to a D&D theme. You also get a deck of Wandering Monster cards. When you draw one you have to fight one of the six monsters. If you do this and win, you gain an advantage and can look at your opponent’s deck or get an extra turn. Lose your battle with the monster and get sent to the maze in the middle of the board where you have to roll a die to get out. Comes with six pewter characters and six pewter weapons.

Nokia N96 Bruce Lee editionUnleash your inner Karate master with the Nokia N96 Bruce Lee Edition. Yes, it comes with a Bruce Lee doll. It’s awesome yes and no doubt when you use the phone, it makes your voice all out of synch with your mouth like any good karate flick, but sadly it is exclusive to Hong Kong. Expensive too at about $1,286 US bucks, but we’re still tempted. Hopefully we see more phone/doll bundles in the near future. Maybe Chuck Norris and that wandering Kung Fu dude.

Sony Ericsson W350i: Sex and the City editionTo celebrate the success of the movie, and solely to appeal to the ladies, Sony Ericsson has announced the W350i, Sex and the City edition. It’s a limited edition white W350i that comes with a memory stick preloaded with the movie’s soundtrack, three wallpapers, and the video song, “Labels or Love” by Fergie.

Other specs are the same like the 1.9 inch high-res screen, 1.3 Megapixel camera, GPRS and dedicated music controls on the flap. It won’t make you Sarah Jessica Parker, or any of the other women on the show, but maybe it will give you some fashion cred with your fellow ladies.

Beverly Hills 90120 edition iPodComing perhaps 15 years too late, teens who have never grown up and find themselves hanging out at the Peach Pit can now get their own limited edition Beverly Hills 90210 engraved iPod nano along with each purchase of every 90210 season on DVD.

No Blu-Ray in that zip code I guess. The special edition iPod nano will come in black or silver, and you can choose either 4GB and 8GB capacities. They will be a limited run of 2,000 units. So if you’re feeling all teen-like and angsty, you better hurry.
