Nerf Dart Tag Hyperfire Deluxe 2 Player Blaster Set

From Hasbro, the Nerf Dart Tag Hyperfire Deluxe 2-Player Blaster Set includes everything you need for fast-paced battles and action-packed contests. Featuring two Hyperfire blasters that hold 10 darts each for rapid firing, and two Micro Blasters for close-range sneak attacks, this set is sure to keep kids eight and up on their toes and having fun.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Four blasters with an awesome range can be accurately aimed The Bad: Small darts are easy to lose In a Nutshell: This Nerf Blaster provides kids and adults with hours of fun At a Glance Ages: 8 and up

Colorful Hyperfire Blasters can hold 10 darts at a time. View larger.

A Whole New Game of Tag
Getting ready for battle is quick and easy. Strap on an adjustable scoring vest and slip on your sleek, Vision Gear glasses. Then load your blaster up with foam darts and take aim at your opponent. Forget laser-tag games that burn through batteries and simpler foam dart guns that require you to reload after every shot. A Hyperfire Blaster can hold 10 darts at a time, and with an auto-advance barrel, you can get lots of shots off quickly.

Whether you play indoors with couch cushion forts offering you cover, or outdoors in an open field, there’s lots of different ways you can strategize against your opponents. Take as many shots as you can right away, or wait until your opponent is low on ammo and get in a single, perfectly aimed blow.

One really great feature is the way darts actually stick to the included vests, so you never have to argue about whether or not you’ve scored a hit. Micro Blasters that hold one dart each and offer a shorter range add to your strategic options.

Dramatic, Fast-Paced Play
It is critical to give a little thought to the field of play before a game begins. The Hyperfire Blasters have a surprising long range, and they shoot darts with an impressive amount of force. Even though the darts are made of soft foam, if you take a lot of shots at close range your opponent probably won’t want to play again. Similarly, fragile items could be broken if you hit them directly. So it’s a good idea to test your gun before the first battle so that you can estimate how much space you’ll need to play.

Let’s face it, even adults love Nerf guns. So, in addition to inspiring competitive friends and siblings to spend time together, this set provides a great way for parents and kids to play together. Our one real complaint is that, even though this set is lots of fun for older kids and adults, the safety glasses and the scoring vests are sized only for younger players.

And while the included glasses are well made with a pleasant orange tint, they aren’t very adjustable. So if they aren’t comfortable or secure, you might want to replace them with protective eyewear of your own.

Overall, it’s hard to imagine having more fun than we had with these Hyperfire Blasters. We do suspect that it would be pretty easy to lose some of the 24 included darts, especially if you play outdoors on a windy day or in a cluttered basement. Fortunately, you can buy refill packs to replace lost darts or to extend the length of game play.

What’s in the Box
Two large blasters, two micro blasters, two scoring vests, two sets of safety glasses, and 24 micro darts.

4 Stars Lots of fun and 4 can play at once
The 4 nerf guns work very well. Comes with a bunch of bullets which do not break easily (but do wind up ALL OVER THE HOUSE). Great to keep a group of kids busy indoors in the winter for awhile, shooting at each other and at targets. Recommend all nerf gun sets, my kids and their friends love them.

5 Stars Nerf Dart Tag
I purchased the Nerf Hyperfire Dart Tag for my son’s 9th birthday. It was a big hit! My two boys love to play with it together and any friends that come over love to play it too. They ususally don’t even mess with wearing the vests though. Great indoor activity. Just be prepared to look for missing darts. I will probably need to buy some more darts for Christmas along with more large multi-fire blasters. They would come in handy for friends that come over or for parents!

5 Stars A great Nerf set!
This set is great! Why? Because it comes with four guns. My brother and I have fun playing battles. We want to get another set so that our friends can play too. You need to get extra bullets, they disappear fast. Pros…Comes with four guns, darts make a sound in the air, guns have great accuracy. Cons…you need to cock the guns every time you fire. GREAT OVERALL!

5 Stars 4 guns for the price of one
Nerf products speak for themselves as far as quality. But value was the shining star with this deal- for $[...] my son got 4 guns, darts, 2 tag vests, and 2 pairs of glasses. While I prefer they play it outside, the darts are soft enough to refrain from causing too much damage. Replacement darts are easy to find if you need extras.

5 Stars great fun!
This has been alot of fun for our whole family. My 11 year old daughter, my husband and I have all been engaged in serious dart battles. The only problem is the darts “mysteriously” disappearing. About 1/2 of them are gone now. We need to order more. Also, the glasses are important for eye protection – we found that out the hard way!

Nerf N Strike Vulcan EBF 25 Blaster Yellow

The Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 gives you the auto-blasting advantage when you’re at foam-filled war with your friends and enemies. Children and adults ages 6 and up will love the EBF-25, the largest full auto blaster that Nerf makes. It lets you shoot 25 sonic micro darts at up to 3 darts per second for an offensive assault.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Machine gun-style Nerf gun fires multiple shots per second The Bad: The included 25 darts run out fast; gun is a bit too heavy for running around with In a Nutshell: A great addition to any Nerf artillery, the Vulcan EBF-25 provides an advantage thanks to the sheer force of shooting 25 darts in ten seconds At a Glance Ages: 6 and up Requires: 6 D batteries

This large, brightly colored Nerf gun shoots 3 darts per second.View larger.

25-shot belt feeds through the gun for a rapid-fire onslaught. View larger.

Full Auto Design Gives You a Quick-Firing Advantage
The first thing we noticed when we took the EBF-25 out of the box was how substantial it was. The gun itself was large, brightly colored in yellow and orange, and heavy enough for it to be a burden for quick missions; accessories included a tripod, ammobox, and ammobelt. The instruction booklet did a good job of describing the assembly process, which took about ten minutes. There is a handle that allows you to easily carry the gun around, but we would have appreciated a strap even more.

The darts are held inside an ammobox in a 25-shot belt, which is fed through the gun. You’ll feel like Rambo when you carry the gun, or sit it on its tripod for taking out enemies by the bucketload. After we’d installed the required six D batteries (not included), we pulled the trigger to see the gun work methodically through our belt of darts. It took only 10 seconds to blast through the included 25 darts, flinging them thirty feet across the room. We wished there were more darts included in the box since it seemed a bit silly that we needed to spend a few minutes to pick up the ammo, and then reload them onto the belt, after shooting for only about ten seconds. A refill pack can be purchased separately, which, we think, would be a wise investment if you want to effectively beat your enemies.

The gun also has a single-shot mode that lets you shoot with extra precision. Rather than battery powered, you have to pull back on a spring-loaded lever, and then use the trigger release lever to shoot the dart. In our experience, you can achieve a little bit more distance this way than with the auto-fire mode.

Tactical Rail System Allows for Fun Additions
The Vulcan EBF-25 features the Nerf Tactical Rail System, allowing it to use most N-Strike accessories, such as the night vision Tactical light accessory for night-time missions.

For those interested in Nerf-fights, the Vulcan EBF-25 should be in everyone’s artillery; the rapid-fire design gives players the advantage when engaging the enemy, and is ideal when it can be used on the back of a moving vehicle, or a stationary setting.

What’s in the Box
Nerf Vulcan EBF-25 gun, tripod, ammobox, ammobelt.

1 Star terrible toy!
This toy does not work! The bullets jam, making it impossible to shoot even a few bullets much less a whole round… a serious bummer for a kid who saw the commercial way too many times. Save your money for something that works!

3 Stars The Tripod doesn’t work either.
Isn’t the tripod supposed to hold the weapon horizontally? It does no such thing – just tilts all the way back with no resistance until the pistol grip rests on the tabletop or floor. Kind of lame!

1 Star Worst purchase ever
Worst gun ever!!!!!!! at least after the first couple days. If possible, i wouldnt give it any stars. It jammed the first time I used it, and i had to fix it. It jammed at least 3 times when it started to work. It was awsome. I turned on the moter and it never worked again. Its been almost a year now and the stupid thing still dosnt work

If you get this (DO NOT GET THIS!!!!) never use the moter.

1 Star What a Letdown!
My son was looking forward to getting this Nerf Gun for his B-day w/his b-day money…I think it’s overpriced for what you get…just like the other comments made…the clip that holds all the nerf bullets jams in the chamber every time and takes all the fun out of the toy..do they not test their products….? This is obviously a manufacturing problem being there are alot of comments made concerning this same problem! My opinion is don’t spend your money on this Nerf gun..was a big disappointment for my son.

2 Stars Best of the best one day, lowest of the low the other
There have been many reviews of this gun. Some have described it as something from heaven, but there have been many that described it as the exact opposite. Personally, I agree with both. This is a something many people have been waiting for a very long time. Sadly, this one largest ripoffs yet! When you first try out the gun, it is exactly what you expect of an automatic gun. But after just one day, it breaks down. By that, I mean that it doesn’t feed any darts and won’t fire any darts. If you have one that’s still working after a long period, consider youselves lucky. With this economy, I doubt you’ll find any good quality Nerf guns.

The Game of Life Twists and Turns

The Game of Life: Twists and Turns puts a new and modern spin on Hasbro’s classic family board game. It is a game of choices, where players can “test drive” different lifestyles, take their chances and experience the twists and turns of real life. Jobs, money, marriage, children and all sorts of unexpected events — just like real life, it’s all here! Recommended for ages 8 and up, there are a thousand different ways to play this game, and no two games will ever be the same.

Updating a Classic
Like the classic version of the Game of Life, the Game of Life: Twists and Turns is based around real-life events. You’ll choose a profession at the beginning of the game, and roll the dice to progress along the board. As you progress, you’ll encounter all sorts of real-life events (injected with a hefty dose of humor, of course), including marriage, houses, cars and family matters. You’ll essentially live real life and make life-defining decisions, but without having to live with the consequences.

However, Twists and Turns has a number of updates in store. Not only does it offer far more choices and possibilities than the original, it also has a number of new technical features that both longtime fans and newly-introduced players will appreciate greatly. The game now features a “LIFEPod,” which helps players keep track of time and manage their careers, houses, cars and families with the touch of the button. The high-tech interface adds loads of fun to the game. The innovations don’t stop there: each player now gets their very own Visa credit card, which they can use to spend. This not only puts a fresh modern twist on the game, but it also could possibly teach younger players about credit card responsibility at an early age. This gives educational value to an already quirky and fun game.

An updated classic game, this version of Life features a LIFEPod to help keep track of players’ careers, houses, cars, and families.

5 Stars College Bound!
My college bound daughter played this game her senior year in high school and loved it. I thought this was the perfect gift to take to college. She plans Life Twists and Turns tournaments in the dorm! I have to say it was fun to play and I am not a board game type person.

1 Star Too many directions
Growing up I loved the game of Life. My kids got this game for a gift and we were excited to try it out. We were all very frustrated that every time you landed on a space you had to read directions. Nothing in this game is self explanatory. We’ve tried to played it twice and have stopped before finishing both times. This may be a good game to play with teens or adults but for an 8 and 10 year old, it is just too complicated. I’m contemplating buying the original Life game for their next gift.

1 Star Don’t waste your life….
Please, if you are looking for good family games, please step away from Life. It is monotonous, it does not require any real decision making skills from you or your children. Games should be fun, thought provoking and change from game to game. This does not. There are so many great family games out there that everyone in the family will enjoy. [...]

5 Stars Life
I like this game. It is a classic, and still fun every time I play it. Fun for all ages! I also like that it doesn’t take too long to play, and is not too complicated.

5 Stars Educational
I used this game in my Bus. Math class as an end-of-the-year wrap-up. It was great!

Scrabble Diamond Anniversary Edition

Sixty has never looked so good! This Diamond Anniversary Edition Scrabble features sleek black and silver tiles, a rotating board splashed with color, curved letter racks of smoky red plastic, and much more. With two built-in side trays for storing game pieces and a raised grid that keeps your letters in place, this anniversary edition of Scrabble will please all players ages eight and above.

The new curved letter racks make it easier to see all your letters. View larger.

Built-in drawers makes it easy to keep everything organized. View larger.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Sleek and colorful new look gives this Scrabble set a touch of class. The Bad: Carrying case doesn’t shut. In a Nutshell: A snazzy improved edition of Scrabble that’s both fun and functional. At a Glance Ages: 8 and up

Expert Tips and Fascinating History
If you’ve never played Scrabble before, the Gameplay Guide explains the rules in a clear, easy-to-read way. It also has lots of tips to sharpen your game (a list of “q-without-u” words, for example). The sturdy plastic board needs no assembly and the storage trays cleverly built into the bottom of the board are easy to find, especially with help from the Gameplay Guide. The game also comes with a Gameplay Guide that offers many helpful hints, as well as interesting historical tidbits (For example, did you know the game used to be called “Criss Cross Words?”)

A Sleek New Look for Scrabble
The black-and-silver tiles, the smoky red racks, and the velvety tile pouch give this Scrabble set a touch of class. The curvature of the racks help you to see your letters more easily than you could on the old, straight racks. During gameplay, the raised grid will help keep your tiles firmly in place, even when the board spins towards another player. The pouch helps keep all the letters and racks together during play. Put them in the storage trays when you’re done, fold the board back up — and voila — you have a carrying case that makes this deluxe Scrabble game easy to take with you.

Fun and Functional
We really liked the look of this colorful board, with its cheerful blue, green, red, and orange “premium” squares. We also appreciated the way the set folds up into a carrying case, complete with the storage trays and handle. It’s not advertised as a travel set, but you can use it that way. You just have to be careful to hold the set closed when transporting it, since it doesn’t snap shut. Also, the storage trays can get a little full when you try to put all the letters and racks in one tray, so make sure you tuck everything neatly into the tray so it will close.

Millions of people around the world love the game of Scrabble, and we’re sure they’ll be just as happy as we are to see this new, improved edition with features that make it both more fun and more functional!

What’s in the Box
Scrabble board with two built-in storage trays, 100 letter tiles, tile pouch, four racks, and gameplay guide.

5 Stars Diamonds are a word’s best friend
Since the only other scrabble game I’ve owned is about 20 years old, I thought this was a wonderful improvement. I love the fact that the letters no longer slide all over the board if it gets accidentally bumped, I’m thrilled with the lazy susan device so that the game easily rotates from player to player, the drawers are convenient for storing the tiles and holders and I like the bright, cheerful colors. I’m also pleased with the foldability, the ease of transport and storage. It doesn’t include a timer, but I already have one. I also don’t miss the score pad as I just use looseleaf paper. Overall, I’m very happy with my new game and play it often at homes or even at coffee houses with friends. It’s very user-friendly and a great way to keep those little gray cells procreating! So, if you’re flummoxed or in a conundrum as to what to buy, I’d suggest this Diamond Edition Scrabble game. Have fun!

5 Stars They finally designed a portable Scrabble Game that makes sense
My previous portable Scrabble game was a nuisance. The tiles popped our of their places. I had always thought they should reissue the magnetic version. Now they’ve finally come out with a winner. Although this edition is compact, it is not small. However, its features make up for its size. Two spacious drawers provide storage (no scorepad is provided). The ridges around the squares keep the tiles in place. In addition, the board turns on wheels. They even curved the racks for added privacy. The case folds and has a handle for easy carrying. Good engineering, overall!

4 Stars Good family game
It a great game for family night. No real issues with the construction of the board except being nostalgic grew up with wooden tiles and this comes with black plastic tiles. Sometimes you can’t have eveything.

5 Stars Fun and Educational – a perfect match!
I purchased this game for my almost-26-year-old son as a gift. It’s one of his favorite games, which says a lot for a guy with former spelling “issues”. I can honestly say that this game, combined with prefix/suffix information, improved his spelling and reading (and then comprehension!) significantly as a junior high student, and now as an adult, too! Thanks to the ability to read and understand, he became an avid reader, a better student, and even graduated from high school early! I know it sounds funny to attribute his success to a game, and I’m not saying that this game was the “it” that did it, but Scrabble sure did help! This particular version is more mobile for him whether he goes to game night at a friend’s house, or stays home. It’s easier to store than the old box version, too.

5 Stars nice version of a classic board game
If you’re a Scrabble fan, this is a great board. It’s especially good if you travel. I wouldn’t buy it as an extra board, but I feel it is a great replacement if you’re looking for something different.

Scene It Seinfeld

Prove your TV trivia prowess to friends and family with the Scene It? Seinfeld Deluxe Edition DVD board game for adults. This entertaining trivia game will have you racing around the game board as you try to tackle brainteasers and answer questions as you relive some of your favorite scenes from all nine seasons of one of America’s most popular television shows.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Easy to set up and fun to play The Bad: Occasional occurrence of less-than-challenging brainbuster questions In a Nutshell: A witty, engaging DVD board game that highlights the hilarity and fun of the popular television show At a Glance Ages: Adult Requires: Television and DVD player with remote control

Scene It? Seinfeld Deluxe Edition DVD game is a fun way to challenge your brain while enjoying popular scenes from the hit television show about nothing. View larger.

Game includes a DVD, trivia cards, and dice — everything you need to gets started.

So You Think You Know Seinfeld…?
The Scene It? Seinfeld Deluxe Edition DVD game is a fun, entertaining way to challenge your brain while enjoying popular scenes from the famous hit television show. Before getting started players will benefit from using either the included quick start guide or the on-screen tutorial for a run-through of how the game is played. To set up the game put the included DVD into your player and choose one player as the DVD Master who will operate the remote control throughout the game.

Next, decide whether you’d like to play a shorter or longer version of the game and fold the included Flextime game board accordingly. Each player then chooses a metal token and places it on the start space. Each turn a player rolls both the numbered die and the eight-sided category die. The numbered die indicates how many spaces forward the player may move upon successfully completing the challenge associated with the category indicated on the category die.

Challenges associated with the various categories range from answering questions following a scene played on the DVD to answering questions indicated on the included trivia Cards. Once a player has made their way to the end of the game path, they have the opportunity to win the game by either successfully beating all players in a final All Play To Win challenge or by successfully completing the Final Cut challenge.

Alternatively, if a board game is not your style or if you’d simply like to entertain party guests throughout the evening, you may choose the Party Play function on the Main Menu of the DVD. In this mode the DVD shuffles among a variety of scenes and challenges automatically so that you and your guests can enjoy one great clip or puzzler after the other all night long.

Yada-Yada-Yada!
The Scene It? Deluxe Seinfeld Edition DVD board game is a witty, entertaining game that is ingeniously designed to engage an entire room full of players. The versatile Flextime game board features brightly colored graphics and allows players to choose between a longer or shorter game. The cleverly designed metal game tokens are modeled after props made famous in some of Seinfeld’s most beloved scenes.

The included DVD is full of hilarious clips and brain-busting trivia from all nine seasons of the witty television show. One of the best features of the Seinfeld DVD game is the Party Play option that allows fans and players to watch clips and answer brainteasers one after another on the DVD automatically without having to navigate with a remote control.

What’s in the Box
Game DVD, one Flextime game board, four metal game tokens, one six-sided numbered die, one eight-sided category die, 16 Buzz cards, and 175 Trivia cards.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star I’d Rather make my own suit!!!
This game is BEYOND boring! It is not worth $30 i spent and not even worth $10 to be honest! Please see T. Riley’s one star review, it is dead on and exactly EVERYTHING we were moaning about as we played for the first time. In the end, WASTE OF TIME AND WASTE OF $$$$$$

4 Stars Love Seinfeld – not as much a fan of the Scene it Game
I love Seinfeld. LOVE IT. But the game is not a Seinfeld trivia game. It is a Scene It game. I hadn’t played Scene it before so didn’t realize that it was more about what happened in the scene versus the show. I find watching it kind of slow. I love the trivia questions, but it doesn’t seem like there is enough for the ultimate fan. Great maybe for the casual fan, but the die hard fan, may consider it too easy. And then just leave them wanting harder, more challenging trivia. I do recommend the game overall just cautioning others on the downsides.

5 Stars Great for the true Seinfeld Fan (or fanatic!)
If you are a fan of the TV show, this game is for you! Lot’s of fun and a good variety of questions. Even non-fans can play as there are some categories that don’t require in depth knowledge of the show.

Great party game and the “party mode” makes for a laid back session if you don’t want to get the board out and play a more serious game.

4 Stars Perfect if they would fix the music!
I’ve been a Seinfeld fanatic for a long time, and the moment I saw a TV ad for this, I hopped on Amazon and made this purchase.

If you’ve ever played any version of Scene-It, you know what to expect. I’d add that the game does a good job of varying the questions and answers from the iconic lines/scenes/moments that everyone recognizes to the hilarious little details that only a diehard would remember. In addition, the off-the-screen trivia enriches my appreciation of the inner dynamics of the show.

MY ONE COMPLAINT (in addition to knowing Seinfeld better than my friends, who now refuse to play with me) is THE MUSIC. It’s NOT the immortal Seinfeld opening theme, but some cheap replica that sounds even worse because it’s such an obvious imitation. It’s so jarring that it knocks a star off my rating. Why the makers of this game didn’t secure the rights to use that song baffles me and significantly damages the experience of this game, which is otherwise great.

5 Stars Nice
Got this for my sister for Christmas. She loved. A must for any Seinfeld fan.
