Eye Toy

Claire G · December 30, 2003

I normally hate computer games with a passion, I've no patience or skill for them (!). My better half went and bought an Eye Toy for the Playstation the other day and set it up yesterday - it's bloomin' brilliant!!!

It's essentially a web cam that films you and puts you in the computer games. I was boxing, cleaning windows, spinning plates and funky diva dancing last night - it's so addictive. I was knackered afterwards though, think I've found my new exercise regime for the New Year now ;)

Anyone else got one? I think they're about £30 (so other half told me, so could feasibly be more...!). Great for parties and for when you've had a few :D

Yeah, I've got one of those things. I think they've brought out another game for the Eyetoy which is dance related.

Personally, I prefer the dancing games using the mats. Even better to get rid of the Xmas excess!

In fact, I've even figured out a way of connecting my PS2 dancing mats to my PC so that I can use them with this great free program:

Stepmania

Not everyone's cup of tea but if you've got kids who love those dancing games and a PC, then you'll save loads of money checking out the link above!

My brother in law has one. You're right - it's great fun. It makes you behave like a complete lunatic though which is of course a complete change for me.
