Artificial Insite

When this Swinxs RFID game console arrived at the doorstep of our European annex to test, we realized our dilemma: kids, we need kids, preferably the type who won’t mind being tricked into a little physical activity. Fortunately, we always have a few 3-footers lurking around the Engadget “waste acre” scrounging for circuit boards to strip of their gold. Presumably then, in violation of several international child labor laws, we put Swinxs to the grueling challenge of entertaining three kids, city-hardened, and angry at the establishment after their respective 5-, 6- and 7-years of big city livin’. How did Swinxs fare? Click on through to witness the laughter and tears spilled during a typical Swinxs afternoon.
