Zappit: Like Pong, but crappier

zappit.jpgMan, I hope you haven't recently purchased a PSP or Nintendo DS. If you did, you might not want to keep reading, cause I'm gonna make you feel pretty stupid. I just discovered the ultimate in handheld gaming, and it blows both Sony and Nintendo's offerings right out of the water.

It's Zappit! It's pong without a TV, computer, or video game system. Just hold it between you and a friends and hit the button when the light comes at you. Sure, there's no paddle to move up and down, but the idea is basically the same. It's definitely one of those things that seems kind of fun but is guaranteed to get old and boring within 5 minutes of using it. I mean, how exciting can it be to just hit a button when an LED light turns on? It certainly doesn't have the rich storyline or social commentary as the original, that's all I'm saying.
