Apparently Xbox 360 3D smarts aren’t worth spending much time on right now. At least that’s what Microsoft Xbox head honcho Phil Spencer reckons.

The best iPad apps are great but the opportunity to play the classic collection of Sierra adventure games on the Apple tablet is even better. Martin Kool, who makes “kick ass things with the web” for a day job, is retooling nine Sierra games for iPad including the Kings Quest series and racy cartoon caper Leisure Suit Larry.

If you had your heart set on one, but are now getting that sinking feeling at the thought of splurging too much cash, you might want to pop down to Maplin and satisfy your Tab urges with the Maplin version, a fraction of the price at £150.

Wave goodbye to those Buddy Holly 3D glasses you’ve got a drawer full of because you keep leaving the cinema wearing them, and say hello to these 3D aviators. These are Moshka aviator 3D glasses, and they come in red, black, blue or pink. Moshka aviators have polarised lenses, which means you can use them in the cinema, and on TVs that use passive 3D, rather than active 3D.
