We have been fighting over who gets to play with the Sifteo sample here at the office. These little blocks are addicting! Imagine all the fun of your favorite puzzle games meeting the touch-sensitivity of your smartphone meeting the accelerometer of your Wiimote. And the best part? It comes with the ability to write your own games!
Sifteo Interactive Gaming Cubes can be anything you want them to be. If you're a puzzle fiend, you'll find tons of puzzles and brain teasers. Love word games? Sifteo does, too. How about adventure games? Got those. Are there little geeks in your life? Sifteo has games for the school age set, whether they're learning their alphabet or mastering mathematics.
These magical cubes engage all of your thinking skills in a fun, hands-on way. Move, shake, flip, rotate, and even connect the cubes to work your way through the various games. Each cube connects wirelessly to your computer (where the software is housed). Just start up your game and you can move across the room to your comfy chair where you can exercise your spatial reasoning, word-finding, pattern-matching and other awesome cranial powers.
