ZoKnowsGaming writes "If you’re like me when it comes to exercise, you always plan to work out more you just never seem to find the time. You are not the kind of person that is into workout videos and diet plans either. If that sounds like you, then EA Sports Active 2 might just be the game for you. EA Sports Active 2 is not without its flaws, but it may be the best exercise/workout game currently available for the PS3."
BioGamer Girl states, "Losing weight can be hard and sticking to a workout plan can be even harder. However, there are tons of new video games that can help you get moving and drop those extra pounds quickly. Video games get you up and moving with Xbox 360's Kinect and Wii which helps burn off those stubborn calories. Playing games is the easiest way to lose weight, because it can be fun which helps you forget that you are even exercising!"
It's week two in the Healthy Gaming project and this week Sean takes two year old EA Sports Active 2 for a workout. He looks at how this program stacks up to last week's Nike+ Kinect Training as well as a candid look at the types of workouts it provides.
"As a long time gamer, I’m overjoyed to see games moving into other areas of life through the process of gamification (check out this video to learn all about it). However, I’m left with a sense of un-fulfillment. I’m not here to question its effectiveness based on whether it passes or fails, but rather if it is always the best method."
no one plays these games anymore, the only ones really using the wii anymore are the core gamers playing the 3 great games that just released (last story, xenoblade and pandora's tower) the wii fad died and it seems nintendo predicted the time to drop support of the console and launch the wii-u with odd timing.
good ridence motion gaming, well ofcourse unless its done right like some of the wii's best games, but we all know most games didnt use it right
Fitness games are the best hope for the Kinect but until people start doing them right it makes it hard to enjoy them. A fitness game has to be thought of from an entertainment standpoint to keep the players attention and want to exercise as well as a fitness standpoint. They exercises are important but integration with online, a personal stat tracker that the user can wear outside the game and sync later, the ability to easily load what they ate via voice and online database of common foods, etc. There are so many things missing. Granted Kinect needs to improve accuracy to help the exercises but for the most part they could have a good future.
