Ah, Bullseye. Probably the greatest so-bad-it-was-good gameshow in history. Apart from 3, 2, 1 and Going for Gold, no other quiz comes close to replicating the unbridled genius of this televisual tatfest. Indeed, aficionados of rubbish TV still talk about Bullseye in hushed tones, it was that good…we mean bad…er, we don't really know what we mean.

But enough reminiscing, because Bullseye is back - sort of - in the shape of the super, smashing, great Bullseye Tankard with Darts. Just as fabulously tacky as you remember, this fantastic metal tankard is a gorgeous(ish) replica of the one presented by Sir Jim of Bowen to countless shell-suited Darrens and Sharons. And you won't have to make a prize plum out of yourself or grow an 80s bum-fluff moustache to get your hands on it. Better still it comes with a set of 125mm Bullseye branded darts.

You don't need us to explain the fun you can have with this deeply ironic gift set, but seeing as we're talking about a game show featuring questions of the "spell dog" variety - we will anyway. Presenting this dart-filled tankard to a colleague who's just been blanked/dumped or missed out on a promotion/lost a bet, is truly hilarious. A bit like a luxury version of a Family Fortunes-style 'Ugh-Urgh'. It really is the ultimate insult…sorry, consolation prize. It also looks rather nice sitting on a desk. What's more the darts are great for attempting that 101-with-six-arrows challenge.

Sadly, unlike a Bullseye contestant, you don't have the time it takes the board to revolve to make up your mind. We can't even give you your BFH.

The Bullseye Tankard and Darts is available from Firebox priced at £19.95 

After a few goes on GYA you won't know whether to laugh or cry. Well, we say cry; what we actually mean is wail hysterically, pull your hair out, ladle soup over your head and drive a steamroller loaded with anvils over this preposterously addictive little electronic game.

Yes people, as you may have determined, GYA is a gizmo that's so infuriatingly habit-forming you'll just love to hate it. But you'll be unable to act on your impulses as putting this LED-laden lump of circuitry down is impossible - its one-more-go-factor is totally off the scale!

According to its wily creators, GYA has landed on our planet (that's Earth for all our Martian readers) and must be deactivated. Which might be true - all we know is that this little plastic orb is dotted with several pressable (of course that's a word) red lights. The idea is to work your way through 10 multi-level, follow-the-leader-style games in order to reach the final showdown. A bit like that electronic classic Merlin (ask your dad).

After initially activating GYA, players must select a game by pressing the relevant flashing light. Once a game is completed that light will remain constantly lit. Completed games are then stored within GYA's memory.

We're too transfixed by GYA to explain every game in detail, but here are a few to whet your appetite: First Contact involves pushing the buttons as soon as they light up; miss too many and you're out. Virus Attack entails pressing as many lit buttons as possible once the music stops. Yes, we said music! Because as well as light-related games, GYA also has a few auditory challenges. For example, in Sonic Pairs the idea is to press buttons to find the matching sounds.

If all this sounds about as exciting as pushing a few red lights, don't be downbeat. Our entire office has gone bonkers over this devious little sphere, and we guarantee you'll be twisting and turning GYA like a Rubik's Cube champ on Red Bull within seconds of activating it. Arrgh! The lights, the lights!

GYA is available from Firebox priced at £19.95 

With all this talk about melting ice caps and endangered wildlife we briefly asked ourselves if a game involving comedy penguins and a big wobbly iceberg could be considered in poor taste. But then we had a quick game of Penguin Pile-Up and forgot what the question was. That's because this childishly simple balancing game is so infuriatingly addictive you'll be thinking of nothing but tumbling, bow-tie-clad birds morning, noon and night.

The premise behind Penguin Pile-Up is simple verging on infantile, but that's precisely what makes this 1-6 player game so gloriously playable. Each player starts with an equal number of penguins. The idea is to take it in turns to carefully place them on the various ledges of an extremely unstable iceberg.

If any penguins fall whilst it's your go you must add them to your pile. The first player to put all their penguins on the iceberg wins. And that, to paraphrase Bruce Forsyth, is all there is to it. It's a bit like Jenga meets Pingu by way of Chilly Willy (ask a cartoon fan).

If all this sounds easier than sliding down a slippery ramp at the zoo, believe us it isn't. The hollow iceberg sits loosely on a single central support, making it extremely wobbly and sensitive to movement. For this reason you have to place your penguins with surgical precision. And as the iceberg becomes increasingly crowded, finding a decent resting place for your next penguin becomes seriously tricky. Steady hands, careful planning and a smattering of strategy are key elements to victory, but Penguin Pile-up is perfect for all ages.

Just like Keith Harris there's something unfathomably comical about penguins, especially when they're going for a burton off an overcrowded iceberg. And that's what makes Penguin Pile-Up a p-perfect p-party game, particularly if you're in an advanced state of liquid refreshment. Penguin Pile-Up is the closest most of us will ever get to playing with a colony of penguins - and you don't even have to worry about catching frostbite. So come on, p-put down a p-penguin!

Penguin Pile-Up is available from Firebox priced at £12.95 

Puzzles. They're a bit of a guilty pleasure, aren't they, like watching Countdown when you should be at work, or doing a wordsearch in one of those puzzle magazines that you always hide when someone else enters the room. They've been predictable and fun since you've been a kid - just like crosswords and Sudoku - but they've never been, how can we put this, cool.

Until now that is.

Welcome to Perplex City - a completely new type of puzzle that's starting to cause more than a stir around the world.

It's The Matrix meets Alice in Wonderland meets The Da Vinci Code in one of the most unusual concepts we've ever seen at Firebox. Is it a game? Is it a story? Is it a series of interlinked puzzles spanning mysterious websites, cryptic phone calls, stray emails, hidden messages and live events in random cities around the world? We're not entirely sure but we're looking forward to finding out.

What is known is this - a valuable object, the Receda Cube, has been stolen from a place called Perplex City and hidden somewhere on Earth. The people of Perplex City desperately need it back and have offered a reward of UK £100,000 or US $200,000 to the first person that cracks the mystery and finds it.

This is where the puzzles come in. Created by a range of leading designers and illustrators, the Perplex City puzzle cards range in difficulty from the fun and easy to the captivatingly complex. There are beautifully crafted riddles, origami challenges, pop culture trivia, logical mindbenders, 3D mazes, Egyptian hieroglyphs and much, much more. These cards give you a window into the world of Perplex City and contain information and clues essential to unraveling the mystery and finding the missing Cube.

New - Starter Pack
Perplex City can be a confusing place. There's so many characters to meet, websites to visit and puzzles to solve. That's what the Starter Pack is all about, it's the perfect primer to the perplexing world of Perplex City. The box contains issue zero of Perplex magazine, ten- track CD, 2 packs of cards, a tourist guide, and even a wallet to store your growing card collection.

This exclusive pack is the perfect gift for anyone - from the veteran player who's already hooked, to the complete beginner looking for something a little more exciting than Sudoku for the long, winter nights. Perplex City is the sort of enigma where sheer brain power isn't as valuable as creative and lateral thinking. In other words, a quick-witted child is as likely to piece the story and clues together as is a retired Maths professor.

The 1970s may well have been the decade that taste forgot but it was peppered with all-American heroes: from the Six Million Dollar Man and Vegas-era Elvis to Fonzie, Muhammad Ali and Burt Reynolds. But for lovers of derring-do, there was only one idol worth worshipping: Evel Knievel.

Whether he was plummeting down a canyon, careering headfirst into the side of Caesar's Palace, or going for a burton whilst attempting to leap over a load of London buses, our bourbon-soaked hero managed to generate more column inches than any other accident-prone stuntman in history.

But the main thing Evel Knievel will be remembered for is the ludicrously popular toy bearing his name. This gloriously entertaining stunt cycle single-handedly saved the ailing 70s toy industry and eventually grossed over $350 million dollars. Not bad for a wind-up bike with a bendy figure sitting on it!

And now you can recreate those wonder years with this re-issued classic. The Evel Knievel Super Stunt Set is actually made from the original moulds and the memories will come flooding back the second you start cranking the energiser. Evel's incredibly sturdy stunt bike still shoots down staircases, whizzes along corridors and scares the living daylights out of cats and dogs. It also allows you to perform the frankly insane stunts Evel made famous over 30 years ago - including wheelies, jumps, flips and wince-inducing wipe-outs.

This deluxe set includes a posable Evel Knievel figure with removable helmet, motorcycle, energizer, adjustable ramps, simulated hoop of fire, 14-piece brick wall and various accessories. What's more, each set is individually numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity and background booklet.

Even if you've never heard of Evel Knievel (and if you haven't, how's life on Mars?) you'll be totally hooked by this classic plaything. Because just like the good old days, watching Evel come a cropper is half the fun.

Evel Knievel Stunt Set is available from Firebox priced at £29.95 

Just when you thought catchphrase comedies were on their way out, along comes Little Britain to reignite the entire genre. This smash hit show has spawned a whole raft of bizarre sayings that are as notable for their silliness as they are for their indefinable genius. Then again we've been saying 'Nice to see you, to see you, nice,' and 'Ooh, you are awful but I like you,' (ask your parents) for donkey's years and they don't make sense either.

Of course the whole thing with catchphrases is that people like repeating them. And repeating them. A lot. Which can be rather annoying, especially if they possess limited mimicry skills à la Richard Madeley (Ali G, anyone?). The point is, why make a fool of yourself impersonating the Little Britain boys badly when you can listen to pre-recorded quotes from your favourite David Walliams/Matt Lucas characters via the ingenious Little Britain Talking Keychain.

Yes, Little Britainers, with this officially licensed handheld gizmo you can enjoy the wit and wisdom of characters such as Vicky Pollard, the world's most incoherent teenager; Dafydd, the only gay in the village; bitchy civil servant Sebastian; fierce Fat Fighter Marjorie Dawes and unconvincing transvestite Emily Howard. Simply press a button and you'll hear one of 12 classic quotes:

• Andy: 'Don't like it! Ah want that one!'
• Vicky: 'Shaddup cos I never done nuffin' nor nuffin' and anyone says I did is gonna get beaten!'
• Dafydd: 'I'll have a quarter of bonbons and a copy of Gay Times please… it's my only outlet!'
• Emily: 'But I'm a lady! I don't have, how you say… testiclé!'
• Marjorie: 'Dust! High in fat, low in fat, dust. Anyone! No? Dust!'
• Sebastian: 'Whatever!'
• Anne: 'Eh eh ehhhh…Eh eh Eh!'
• Ray McCoony: 'Maybe ah do and maybe ah don't… Ah leave ye with a riddle!'
• Dennis Waterman: 'Oh that's nice! So they want me to write the feem toon, sing the feem toon…'
• Kenny: 'Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, don't look around the eyes, look into the eyes!'
• Carol: 'Computer sez no…'
• Bubbles: 'Call me Bubbles Dahling, everybody does! I'm winking Dahling!'

Guaranteed to raise a titter, the comic potential of this ingenious little device is as obvious as Emily's gender, and it's a great way to silence misquoting pub bores as every catchphrase has been taken directly from the show. So enough of the yeah buts and no buts - get yourself a Little Britain Talking Keychain before everyone in the village cottons on.

The Little Britain Talking Keychain is available from Firebox priced at £8.95 

Isn't beer fantastic? Here we think it's the greatest beverage ever invented. Probably. Because although wine is fine and brandy is dandy, nothing hits the spot like an ice cold lager.

Almost as important as the amber ambrosia you consume is the vessel from which you choose to sup it. Pub-style lager glasses are pretty dull and generic these days. And you only ever see old-style dimpled pint pots in repeats of The Sweeney. Maybe that's why drinking straight from the bottle is becoming an increasingly acceptable mode du glug (as long as it's not a 3L plastic job).

But wouldn't it be great if there was a way to combine drinking from a bottle with drinking from an unusual, high quality glass? Well, guess what? There is! Beer Bottle Goblets are beer bottles that have been skilfully transformed into high quality goblets. And take it from us, drinking from them is an absolute delight.

Taking recycling to the next level, Beer Bottle Goblets have been crafted from reclaimed Sol and Grolsch bottles. How? Glass artisans carefully cut away the base, polish the edges and then bond a base to the bottom (or should that be top?) of the bottle to form a robust 'foot'. The result is a gloriously green or crystal clear, satisfyingly sturdy goblet that makes regular beer glasses look about as appealing as an ashtray filled with flat ale and soggy cigarette butts.

What's more, the distinctive bottles are design classics, not to mention inspiration icons from two legendary larger brands. It goes without saying that Beer Glass Goblets make superb gifts for alcohol aficionados, but they also look great on display and are guaranteed to generate interest whenever and wherever you use them. So shhtop messing about with gottles of geer and get yourself some goblets of Grolsch and Sol. Cheers!

Beer Bottle Goblets are available from Firebox priced at £10.95 

Some things are addictive for all the wrong reasons: reality TV, coffee and tea, fizzy pop, repeats of Going for Gold - the list goes on and on. Thankfully Pylos, the pyramid-based board game from our good friends at Gigamic, is seriously compulsive for all the right reasons. And the only after-effect is an uncontrollable urge to crush your opponents with your ball-stacking abilities again and again.

That's right, we said ball-stacking. That's because Pylos is a truly original game in which players take turns to construct a pyramid using 30 wooden marbles. As any Egyptologist will tell you, it's difficult enough building a pyramid from colossal blocks of limestone, let alone a load of little balls. And that's not even your only goal. You see the object of Pylos is to be the player who positions their very last ball at the pinnacle of the pyramid. Allow us to explain.

Two players are given 15 beautifully-crafted wooden marbles apiece. They then take turns to construct a pyramid by placing a sphere of their own colour (either light or dark) in one of the sixteen indentations on the playing board. As the pyramid grows the balls must be placed on top of each other to provide elevation to the pyramid. Are you still with us?

Constructing a square in your own colour allows you save marbles back in your reservoir. But saving a ball for the final move remains your goal, so the question is, do you place a new ball on the board to augment the pyramid, position a new ball to block your opponent, or move a played ball to a new location? The winner is the player who saves the most marbles and is thus the last to complete the pyramid.

Each game of Pylos lasts between 5 and 20 minutes and you can play different rules for different levels of ability. It really is one of the most addictive ball-based playthings we've ever seen. And because it looks as good as it plays it makes an ideal desktop companion/distraction. If all this sounds like a pile of balls, it is. But it's a multi award-winning pile of balls that's so ludicrously engrossing you'll be talking complete spheroids all day long.

Pylos is available from Firebox priced at £24.95 

Let's be honest, TV is the greatest invention ever. A rather sweeping statement when you consider some of the other contenders, but you can't watch X-Factor, SpongeBob, 24 and the latest series of The Sopranos on an internal combustion engine or a flushing toilet, can you?

Indeed, TV is now so ridiculously entertaining, with so many fantastic digital channels, it's difficult keeping up with your favourite shows. Yes, you can show-off and invest in a Sky+ box, but you have to keep paying for that even after you've shelled out for the unit itself. Then of course there's Freeview, with its impressive range of freebie digital channels. But you can't do all that pause/rewind live TV, record two channels simultaneously malarkey with that, can you? Well, yes, you can if you get hold of the amazing Topfield PVR.

This ingenious little box of tricks is essentially two Freeview digiboxes and a multifunctional 160GB hard drive in one. This means that as well as receiving loads of spectacularly captivating digital channels you can do all those fancy-pants Sky+ recording tricks without any subscription fees or unsightly dishes.

Using the Topfield you can record two Freeview channels at the same time whilst watching two others simultaneously (picture within a picture-style) as well as pause and rewind live TV. Perfect if you need to pop out for a cuppa or watch that wonder goal again and again. And just think, you'll never have to hunt down a blank tape or dvd at the last minute ever again. Amazing!

You can even record and link entire series using the Topfield's idiot-proof timers. All you do is hit a couple of buttons and the Topfield will automatically record every episode of your favourite show, until you tell it to stop. So you could, in theory, record an entire season of Richard and Judy AND the Paul O' Grady Show without bunking off work early every day. It's like being in charge of your own fully-customisable TV station! Think of it as Freeview+. And with a whopping 88 hours of recording time, you can store an immense backlog of shows and movies before you need to erase that clip of Chico off X Factor doing the splits.

If all that doesn't impress, try this on for size: the Topfield can be connected to your PC via USB 2.0. As well as periodically upgrading software this allows you to transfer stored TV shows to your PC so that you can burn them to DVD. You can also transfer downloaded MP3 files from your PC onto the Topfield's hard disk for viewing on your main telly. Bye, bye social life!

The tech press are going gaga over the Topfield, which is hardly surprising because this user-friendly gizmo will totally revolutionise your TV-watching life. Never again will you utter "There's nothing on tonight" or "I think the tracking's out." Speaking of which, you can start making room for the Topfield now by chucking your VCR in the bin.

The Topfield is even Top-Up TV compatible, so you can pay for extra channels on top of the existing free-to-view Freeview channels. The Sky might be the limit, but the Topfield's capabilities are infinite. So come on, treat your telly to a Topfield PVR. Because these days, TV's just too good to miss.

The Topfield PVR is available from Firebox priced at £259.95 

So you've finally got your hands on a gorgeous PSP and you're the envy of every pleb who hasn't got one. But how do you become the envy of every smug braggart who has got one? Easy, you get your mitts on some of these ingenious protective accessories, specifically created for the hottest handheld console on the planet.

First up, allow us to introduce the exceptionally elegant Tri Case. This sleek but sturdy carry case will keep your precious PSP fully protected and free from smudges and scratches when not in use. Handy when you consider that the whole point of the PSP is its portability.

With its black rubberised finish and brushed metal trim, the Tri Case is almost as ergonomically enticing as the PSP itself. It can't play games or movies but it can store 2 UMD discs and 4 Duo Sticks alongside your beloved handheld console. It also gives you access to the power and headphone sockets while the PSP is still inside. Even more ingenious is a nifty access window that allows you to see the PSP's horizontal menu bar at all times.

Next up is the 3-in-1 Grips Storage Case. This tight fitting perspex case surrounds your PSP like transparent armoured skin, protecting it from mucky finger marks and scratches, but still giving you access to all the controls. And let's face it, a tarnished PSP is enough to make a grown man cry. But here's the really clever bit: the case features two retractable 'shoulder' sections designed to help adult hands get a proper grip on the console. By putting a bit of 'meat' onto the PSP the twin-position grips really allow your fingers to strut their stuff and give optimal comfort and feel in any gaming scenario over a prolonged period. As if this were not enough to get you clicking on the 'Add to Cart' button, the 3-in1 also acts a stand for your PSP, so you can watch movies hands-free. Result!

Last but by no means least comes the stylish UMD Case. As the name suggests this sleek little number has been designed to store and protect your valuable UMDs. Simply push one of the four buttons and your UMD of choice is elegantly ejected. You won't even have to play guess the disc because a viewing window allows you to see each title. Now isn't that better than carting around a quartet of bulky boxes?

We think these beautifully designed peripherals are essential bits of kit for any self-respecting PSP owner. After all, you wouldn't put a £200 pair of shades in a sock, would you? We did and the only thing they're good for now is the bin. That's why all three of these über-chic items are worth every penny. So don't dilly dally, get on the case!

The Tri Case is available from Firebox priced at £14.95
The UMD Case is available from Firebox priced at £9.95
The 3N1 Grips are available from Firebox priced at £19.95
