Wipeout Create & Crash Wipeout Create and Crash is a fun and challenging game for all ages. After watching the show with my son, I have to say this game is a nice compliment to the show and some of the courses look pretty familiar. Some of the obstacles would never work in the show, but that’s one of the things that makes this fun to play and funny to watch. $39.99

Robot Chicken: Season 6 Blu-Ray Robot Chicken fans are going to absolutely love the Season 6 Blu-Ray: not only are all twenty 15-minute episodes included, but there is at least that much in deleted skits, storyboards, and interviews with the writing and stop-motion animation talent that accompany Matthew Senrich and Seth Green’s twisted humor.
