DHGF: Let’s make this short and sweet: Exerbeat is easily the best exercise title for the Wii so far and is the best exercise game across all console in terms of what you are getting for the price tag. Exerbeat gives you 155 different exercises across eight different categories and is the most customizable game in the genre so far. Best of all, it’s only the second exercise game out there to let you wield a motion controller in each hand, so that both halves of your body are actually being checked for accuracy. If money is no problem, Get Fit With Mel B. is still the crown jewel of exercise games, but you can purchase TWO Exerbeats for the cost of Get Fit and you don’t have to purchase a Move Controller and EyeToy as well. At only $19.99, Exerbeat should be the first choice of anyone who is even remotely interested in exercise gaming. Pick it up and see why.
Today you can save big on Wii games and accessories from the special daily offers that retailers are posting. Test your knowledge with a Wii trivia game; keep your controllers charged or pick up a new nunchuk for cheap; or have fun dancing your way to video game stardom with any of today’s great video game deals. These video game sales won’t be around for much longer, so get them while the prices are good.
Brash Games writes "Another rhythm based exercise game makes an appearance on the Wii, its always hard to judge these kinds of titles because they usually are just a bunch of mini games designed for fitness purposes. ExerBeat hopes to add some longevity and fun to the genre which is already full of forgettable exercise sims that frustrate more than improve fitness".
DHGF: Well, the second quarter of 2011 is in the can, and because the countdown of my ten favorite games from Q1 2011 proved to be popular with readers, I’ve decided to do the same thing with this one (and probably with Q3 and Q4 once they are finished). It’s hard to believe 2011 is halfway done, and it’s even harder for me to believe that I’ve played over sixty new releases this year – thirty seven in this quarter alone.
Like with all “Top Ten” lists, I like to add some caveats. The first is that, obviously, I am not you. That means my list will more than likely not look like your list. We all have different tastes, so don’t be offended if games you like aren’t on the list. As well, even though I managed to pack thirty-six games into twelve weeks, there were far more games than that released during that time frame, so if a game you played didn’t make the list, it could very well be that I just didn’t get to play it. Two examples of this are Wizardry and LA Noire – both games I really wanted to play, but that I just haven’t had the chance to yet. Hell, I STILL haven’t played the first Dragon Age or Fallout: New Vegas. At the same time, since I play a lot of obscure or indie games, this is a great chance for you, the reader, to discover some really fun games that you might have missed due to their lack of an advertising budget.
