The USB Missile Launcher must be up there as one of the world's most popular pieces of USB tat, and it's recently been given the upgrade treatment. No more do you just roughly aim and fire; now you can zero in on your target with precision thanks to the new on-board webcam.
Even better, once you've lined up the shot and hit the keyboard, you get sound effects in the form of a whoosh and a warning siren (although I think striking without warning is surely more fun). If that's not enough USB nonsense for you, consider this: it can link up to MSN and any one of your MSN buddies can control and fire it. Or you can leave it at home and control it when you sneak onto IM at the office. Suitable for ages 12+, it's perfect for mental ages from 10-14; don't expect to buy one on a kid's budget, though - it's £49.95.
