8 Video Game Products We NEED In Real Life

3. The Dagger of Time - Prince of Persia

Prince of Persia's Dagger of Time allows the user to both slow and rewind time, and within the context of the game can be used to get an edge during combat and undo any slippery mistakes while platforming.

But in real life the dagger probably wouldn't be used much for life-saving situations - it'd just be for correcting mundane, everyday mistakes. 

Knocked your cereal bowl over while making breakfast? Stubbed your toe? Stepped on some LEGO? Just grab the dagger and save yourself the hassle.

Basically, the dagger would give you the ability to trial-and-error your way through life, to ensure you always had the most fortuitous outcome of any situation.

Granted, in the games relentless temporal tinkering could result in a visit from the timeline's guardian, Dahaka, but in terms of pure mechanics, the dagger would be an invaluable tool to make your life as streamlined and problem-free as possible.
