Even if someone removes the dongle, a password will be required to disable the device.
- Effective range around 2 metres, Operation frequencies: 434MHz (CE)
- Transmitter Power Supply: DC 3V, Battery usage: approximately 2000 hours
- Receiver Power Supply: DC 5V – provided by the computer through the USB port
- Software Driver: supports Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP, Computer automatically enters ‘Lock Mode’ when the user is away from computer by more than an effective range
- The computer automatically resumes operation when the user is back to within an effective range

This beautifully crafted gizmo looks like the kind of thing you might find in Diagon Alley. The difference is you use it to control your telly, Sky, digibox, stereo or any other infra-red device via various abracadabra-ish gestures. Simply swish, whirl and flick to change channels, adjust volume and much more.
Totally button-free, the Wand can ‘learn’ up to 13 infrared codes from your existing remote(s) and transmit them when you perform one of 13 predefined gestures. You can assign various functions to various moves: flicks to turn on and off; spins to control volume; big swishes to mute and so on.
To add to its supernatural nature, the Wand also features a ‘heartbeat’ in the form of various pulses that confirm gesture recognition and tell you when the batteries are low. It even goes into sleep mode after 60 seconds of inactivity and ‘wakes’ when you pick it up. Gorgeously packaged in a smart presentation box, the Wand is set to become the remote control of choice for any gadgeteer with Potter-esque aspirations. So don’t be a Muggle, get ordering. It’s totally wizard!
Battery Requirements:
* Requires 2x AAA batteries (not included)
Dimensions:
* Wand measures 35.5cm(L) x 2cm(D)
Features/functionality:
* 1 – Rotate anticlockwise (typically used for “volume down” function)
* 2 – Rotate clockwise (typically used for “volume up” function)
* 3 – Flick upwards
* 4 – Flick downwards
* 5 – Flick left
* 6 – Flick right
* 7 – Tap on top
* 8 – Tap on side
* 9 – Big swish
* 10 – Push forward
* 11 – Pull back
* 12 – Double tap top
* 13 – Double tap side
Modes:
* Practice mode – allows the user to practise making the gestures and verify that they have been recognised correctly before learning associated IR data.
* Sleep mode – the wand will enter a low-power sleep mode after 60 seconds of inactivity.
* Learning mode – you can teach it one or more new codes for any of the possible gestures.
- Simply swish, whirl and flick to change channels, adjust volume and much more. Incredible!

Steampunk
Follow-up to BioShock, 2K Games’ critically acclaimed and commercially successful 2007 release, BioShock 2 is a first-person shooter set in the fictional underwater city of Rapture. As in the original game, BioShock 2 features a blend of fast-paced action, exploration and puzzle-solving as players follow varying paths through the overarching storyline based on the decisions that they are forced to make at various points in the game. In addition to a further fleshing out of the franchise’s popular storyline, players can look forward to new characters, game mechanics, weapons, locations and a series first, multiplayer game options.
Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster somehow familiar, yet still quite different from anything ever seen has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city. It is a Big Sister, new denizens of Rapture who were once one of the forgotten little girls known as Little Sisters, known to inhabit the city’s dank halls. No longer a pawn used to harvest ADAM, the dangerously powerful gene-altering lifeblood of Rapture, from the bodies of others and in turn run the risk of being harvested herself, the Big Sister is now the fastest and most powerful thing in Rapture. You, on the other hand are the very first Big Daddy, in fact the prototype, that for some reason has reactivated. You are similar to the Big Daddies familiar from the original BioShock, but also very different in that you possess free will and no memory of the events of the past ten years. The question is, as you travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city beneath the waves, hunting for answers and the solution to your own survival, are you really the hunter, or the hunted?
The original shocked the video gaming world by not only being a great first person shooter, but also an intelligent one. Now one of the greatest stories in interactive fiction is getting another chapter, with a sequel set ten years later.
 The most literate first person shooter of 2007 returns |
The multiplayer mode features a completely different story and even developer |
Will you save the Little Sisters or exploit them? |
As a Big Daddy you can now venture outside of Rapture and onto the sea floor |
You play the original Big Daddy – a more independently minded prototype to the giant deep sea divers from the first game. The undersea world of Rapture has been taken over by the mysterious Big Sister, who has begun to kidnap children from coastal cities around the world.
A much larger range of plasmid powers are now available, as well as more standard weapons and the Big Daddy’s iconic rivet gun and drill. The game’s real conflict is emotional though, as you are once again forced to make a decision between sacrificing Little Sisters or protecting them and making your task even harder. Bioshock 2 will make you think, and not just about tactics.
Key Features
- Atlas shrugged: The award-winning story-telling of Bioshock continues with a new hero and a new threat in the underwater dystopia of Rapture.
- Evolve yourself: New plasmids, including new dual-wielded attacks, let you unleash amazing powers but at the cost of your humanity.
- Cry Little Sister: As the first Big Daddy you are far faster than the other lumbering giants, but equipped with the same weapons and the ability to venture onto the ocean floor.
- Big boss: Defend yourself against the constant attacks of Big Sister by setting up traps and ambushes, but always making sure you have an escape route!
- Separate lives: For the first time Bioshock has its own multiplayer mode – featuring a completely different story and created by developer Digital Extremes (Unreal Tournament 2004).
About the Developer: 2K Marin
Although founded in 2007 specifically to create new, original games the first release from this Californian developer will be Bioshock 2. The studio is relatively small and designed to work with Take-Two’s other developers, such as 2K Boston and 2K Australia in the case of Bioshock.
