Apple to Change How Your Kids Play

Apple To Change Toys: Hasbro Lazer Tag

You kids or grandkids want to stay indoors and play video games. You want them to go outside and get some real exercise. Hasbro's Lazer Tag (single $40, two-pack $70, August) is the compromise. You download the Lazer Tag app, then mount the iPhone or iPod into this blaster to create a game heads-up display. One can play against the game or in a group of up to two dozen Lazer Tag blaster-equipped players. When your virtual or real opponent is within range in either the virtual or the real world, the blaster beeps. When you score a hit, your opponent is seen being hit within the app. They can play indoors, but with a range of 250 feet, it's much better running around outside – and out of your hair.
