    Call of Duty 4 has been my game of choice recently. However I heard that the split screen for online multiplayer has been disabled in Call of Duty 4. I haven't tried it yet, does anyone know if this is true? http://www.callofduty.com/

    Khet: The Laser Game
    Khet: The Laser Game
    Price: $44.95
    Website: www.amazon.com
    High tech, high action and truly unique! Deflexion combines lasers with classic strategy for cool, smart...Zap! "Gotcha!" Satisfaction. Strategy at the Speed of Light... Each player begins with 12 Egyptian-themed pieces and a laser built into the board. The goal is to arrange your pieces so that the laser's beam bounces off their mirrored sides with the goal of illuminating opponent's pieces to eliminate them from the game. Players alternate turns moving the mirrored pieces around the playing field after which they fire their low powered laser diode in attempts to hit the opponent's Pharaoh. Deflexion is fun and easy to learn. Developed by mechanical engineering students and similar to chess, the challenge is in thinking about the playing field as a whole. Because all the pieces move in the same way, you can learn how to play in minutes. The hard part is keeping your pharaoh safe all while trying to zap your opponent and kill him...your opponent's pharaoh, that is. Although the laser does not effect people, we are not suggesting zapping anyone or anything. Deflexion employs two class II lasers which are lower in power than most laser pointers on the market, (usually class III). This means that although you still get the neat effect of firing a laser to bombard your opponent's pieces, you will not get the wow effect of seeing it melt or blow holes through the playing field. Deflexion makes light strategy fun for all ages. According to the experts, product testing shows that players of all ages and groups find Deflexion easy to learn and fun to play. In fact "geeks" was the only group to give a 9 out of 10 on overall enjoyment, instead of the usual 10 out of 10 from all other groups, including swimsuit supermodels. Deflexion has received the following accolades: Wired Magazine's Super Cool Toys for 2005 Popular Science named Deflexion "A Must Have Product" American Mensa Select Winner Featured in Business Week and Tulane University Magazine
    What's more fun than Egyptian themed game pieces and lasers?  Someone told me to check out this game today, and I have to say it looks like a lot of fun.  I am looking forward to playing it soon.
