games: rubik’s revolution

As a wee lad I can remember spending hours fiddling with my sister’s original Rubik’s cube. 

I think I got it about 75% figured out when, in a stealthy move sure to inspire quitters everywhere, I switched around the stickers and gloated over my ’solving’ the puzzle.

It looks like this generations’ Rubik won’t be so simple to defeat.  Dammit.

as the sequel to Rubik’s classic cube puzzle, the Revolution adds an inner glow and range of electronic games such as Light Speed, Rapid Recharge and Multiplayer Madness. Resembling the original in its 3×3 design, but not in the sound effects and other bells and whistles, the new toy will be available this summer.

For $20, it’s a chance at a Rubik’s redemption for me.
