You know the next big thing has arrived when your Nintendo calls you overweight. “Wii Fit,” Nintendo’s most broadly targeted creation yet, has you “playing” more than 40 exercises based around the packed-in balance board, which monitors shifts in your weight as you do everything from push-ups to yoga. Step aerobics, for instance, have you marching on and off the board to on-screen cues, transforming your living room into a giant, healthy game of “Guitar Hero.” Related Topics: WASHINGTON
What really sets “Wii Fit” apart from other exercise games is its personal touch – setting monthly weight goals and tracking daily progress is addictive. The marriage of fitness with the psychological hook of gaming (gotta get the high score in skiing!) will especially thrill the non-gamer woman bored with her Winsor Pilates tapes.

see that's why I use a pc the games are so much better and run better than expensive consoles. Besides when I am done I can surf the net without knowing I spent 500 on a little box lol.

More God of War PSP info needed said:
Does this version of God of War have the same Quick-Time Events, that require no strategy beyond pressing a designated button when it appears on screen? Does it have those horribly sluggish "climbing" sequences? Those repetitive "flying" sequences? Are the sequences long and common throughout the game, or are they more limited in length and frequency than in the past two games?
