Jon Waterhouse

November 26, 2007 — Toy recalls aside, there are more than enough goodies for Santa to pile in his sleigh this year. After wading through heaps of holiday toys and gifts, we give a look at 10 that rise to the top.

Rubik's Revolution by Techno Source. $19.99

The twisting color-coded puzzle game from the '80s gets plugged in. This time, flashes of light and bursts of sound accompany six built-in puzzle games. Brain teasers and games of speed and reflex such as Code Cracker and Light Speed are among the choices. Geek out alone or choose multiplayer mode.

Pros: It breathes new life into a classic brand.

Cons: We miss the traditional Rubik's play.

Ages: 5 and older.
