Techonology wiz Kris Abel explores the digital realm and shares ideas on what to give those who can't live without their video games.

First on Abel's list is the Nintendo DS, a hand-held gaming console with two screens.

"They cost $200 and they're very hard to find but one of the reasons why they're so popular is there's a lot of really neat and interesting features," Abel said.

"Wirelessly, the two systems can connect up to 16 systems and can connect for virtual chatting as well as multiplayer gaming."

With the console, players can get games such as "Feel the Magic" which allows gamers to touch and interact with the screen.

"This crazy, crazy game details a young man who falls in love with a young woman and tries to get her attention. He does all sorts of cool things like trying to pick scorpions off her back or trying to get goldfish throughout," Abel said.

For Sony Playstation 2 fans, Abel offers a gadget called the EyeToy: AntiGrav, a small camera that sits up on the TV that connects to the PS2 device.

"Basically, what this would do is track my movements and use it for me to control the skateboarder and I'd be able to all sorts of grabs in this futuristc anti-gravity world," he said.

For those who like some physical activity with their gaming experience, there is the Yourself! Fitness program for Microsoft's XBox.

"It's interactive. Maya on the screen is your personal trainer. She asks you to do a number of exercises and to record what your pulse is," Abel said.

"Then based on that as well as your weight and height, she then puts together a routine using over 500 different exercises including pilates, strength training to create a routine and you just follow along."

Abel also suggests the award-winning Donkey Konga for Nintendo's GameCube, which is a set of congo drum controllers set on a table or on your lap.

Players then try to drum and clap to music beats on the screen.

"It can actually take up to four different players. The drums cost $40, the game itself is $70."
