Diehard GameFAN writes: "There are two big problems with most exercise games. The first is that the games are poorly made and actual include exercises that do more harm than good. We saw this with both EA Active and Wii Fit. The games included things like computer generated trainers that demonstrated how to do exercises incorrect, had exercises like running in place or weird jumping things (both of which can cause damage to your knees and ankles and really should be avoided) and were really more snake oil cons sold to naïve dupes that wanted to lose weight or get fit without getting a gym membership (or possibly leave their home)."
PS UK Blog - Follow our six-step workout plan and let PlayStation 3 games like Move Fitness and DanceStar Party help you stay in shape.
My advice. Turn off the PS3, Go outside and run/cycle/walk/swim (obviously in a pool), Comeback no earlier than one hour later, turn on PS3, Have fun.
Seriously console exercising isn't great
Kotaku - It's April. Spring! And Nintendo has a list of what games are hitting its platforms (the Wii, the DS and the 3DS) for the next three months of April, May and June.
Let's have a look, platform by platform. Do be aware that release dates can change.
Recently in Doncaster, Uk it was announced the spice sensation Mel B would be lending her power in a partnership with leading video game accessory manufacturer BLAZE. They were excited to announce their partnership with the manufacturer. Here is what Jason Cooper, Chairman of blaze Europe had to say “We are delighted to be working with Mel B and Fitness First. We believe these are the perfect brands for our fitness range”. This is only in the UK at the moment but, hopefully we can get this over to the US. Look after the break for pics, and the press release.
after playing mel b's wii fit accessory my right forearm has got incredibly muscular.
talking about the WiiMote is far better than The PlayStation Move & that no one has the move because it only sold 300K in the US.
No, he points out (and rather correctly) that the Move controller and the Eye have some connectivity issues the faster a body moves and ESPECIALLY with a series of rapid repetitious actions - an issue the Wiimote doesn't have. Because exercising is a series of rapid actions being repeating, the Wiimote does perform better than Move under these conditions.
And the 300K number is accurate for Move sales in the US. Even Sony has said that Move was a "modest" success.
