What, Some People Are Bored With Their Wii Fit?

With the Wii Fit in it's height of success, I've been hearing rumours that some folk have used it, worked it and now finished with it. I have to say I am astounded. The Wii Fit is not a fad or a quick fix, but an easy to use product which will very much help just about anyone to get fitter.

Furthermore, I should know because I've got a Wii Fit and I am getting fitter but it's not all happening in one day.

I don't know how true these rumours are that I've read about or, if they are true, just how many folk are giving up. I do know that the Wii Fit does help towards someone getting a fitter body in a fun, relaxing way so I can only assume that these folk may have been looking for overnight success or they just haven't realised the full potential of the Wii Fit.

Without sounding preachy, nobody is going to get that perfect body overnight and probably the main reason for giving up is that excercising seems like too much hard work.

Well hey, come on, the Wii Fit is not hard work. It's fun and easy to use and even tells you how your performance is doing so that you can better that performance next time.

Yes, I know that the Wii Fit on its own is not the complete answer - we need nutrients and vitamins - but put the two together and you are truly onto a winner.

So, come on folks, don't give up. Just have a little patience and you will get there. Just give your body its nutrients and vitamins and then get on the Wii Fit.

"Too Human" Review - Xbox 360

Too Human could very well be the poster child for the negative effects of over-hyping a video game. Too often we gamers and the people who supply us with information become so obsessed with the possibilities a game represents that we lose sight of reality. An exciting and eagerly awaited game is built up to impossibly high standards that only a few games in a hundred manage to meet. We want so badly for a game to be everything we hoped that we lose sight of what it is, which in this case is a very decent title with its share of issues; nothing more, nothing less.

The unusually long game development time for Too Human has created its share of difficulties concerning both the over-hyping of the title as well as the core of the game itself. Originally scheduled for release on the original Playstation, the title found its way to the GameCube following a partnership between Silicon Knights and Nintendo, and finally ended its long journey on Microsoft's Xbox 360. The time allotted to the development of an average game is typically more than enough to allow for the over-hyping of said game, but in this case I believe the incredibly long development time as well as the multiple platform changes for the title attributed to this game's hyper-hyping. The game simply sat too long in the imaginations of gamers worldwide.

I personally cannot blame those who wanted this title to be great; the game has some really interesting concepts. The dual-analog melee combat has incredible potential for those willing to take time to learn its particulars. Once well-equipped and versed in the particulars of the game's combat system, a player can truly begin to feel godly while facing his foes. Though at first unsure of the depth of combat I found in the game's opening, this gamer was soon sliding gracefully from enemy to enemy swords-a-blur. Few things about this title are as satisfying as wading confidently into a group of twenty enemies and emerging practically untouched with some cool new items to check out.

The game offers some reasonably fun character progression featuring a wealth of class and spec combinations which lead to many different play styles. The loot drops are frequent and satisfying, and despite the fact that you will pick up some items that you cannot use on your character, they can always be traded to a friend for something you want in the game's online co-op multiplayer. Furthermore, you are given the option of breaking down items that you do not need anywhere in the game into hard currency which you will then use to buy or craft new items. The gear is really quite satisfying to collect and craft, and this is one of the game's strong points.

The game is, of course, not without its problems. As earlier stated, the game was originally planned for development on the Playstation, and in some ways it shows. The character models are somewhat blocky-looking (especially the faces), and some of the game's environments are somewhat bland. The story attempts an interesting mixture of futuristic technology (including cybernetics), and Norse mythology. While this may sound cool to some, the theme seems somewhat forced. While the story itself is thankfully fairly simple, some of the ideas and statements made me cringe, such as AI-controlled human allies saying things like "where in the Helheim are we?" The game is also sadly somewhat short, but despite playing through the main story twice in my four days with the game, I was eager to play again.

There are a few other small compliments and gripes which could be bestowed upon this title, but I think we all get the picture: What we have here is a fun game that is more than adequate entertainment. It has issues, yes, but what game doesn't? My recommendation is to give this game a fair shake. Even the most remote areas of the country have access to game rentals these days, so you need not invest a full $60 just to find out if the game suits you. Who knows? You may really enjoy it.

My score: 7.5/10

Firecards - Why DS Firecards Outshine the Competition

With so many DS storage devices available, how do you know which one to choose? If you're looking for the one that will provide you with the easiest way to store games and the best interface, then DS Firecards are the best choice. These little cards, which are the same size as DS games, can hold your entire DS collection so that you can conveniently have access to any game you want to play.

Are you worried that you'll have to use FlashMe, PassMe, or some other external memory system with Firecards? If so, then you'll be relieved to know that this is not necessary. As long as you have a DS Fire Link to download your games on, you'll be able to transfer them easily over to your card. No other equipment is required. This gives you one of the most straightforward ways to store your games.

Are you wondering how many games you'll be able to play with Firecards? You should be able to play any of your DS games, due to the high compatibility factor that these cards have. Other storage devices, such as the DSTT, will allow you to play most, but not all, of your DS games. Just make sure you get the 16Gbit version of the Firecard so you'll have enough room to store them all.

Do you like to be able to select games quickly and easily? Then once again, Firecards will provide you with the best way to do this. The touch menu you'll be using to go through your library of games is very user-friendly and efficient. You won't have to worry about wasting precious time scrolling through your list when you could be playing. The DSTT is notorious for this flaw, since it does not offer a simple folder browser or let you sort your games by name in order to find them faster.

Are extra features and customization options a must? Then you'll be much better off with Firecards instead of a device such as the R4 DS. The R4 has a very unimpressive interface that is in dire need of some updating. Also, don't expect those extras or skins to personalize your screen either. The R4 doesn't come with these, so stick with Firecards for those added bonuses.

Firecards might have some decent competition out there, but if you really want the most reliable storage device, then you can safely ignore those other options. Firecards will give you the most for your money, so you can start enjoying being able to have all your games readily available no matter where you go.

For the best service you'll find, including convenient features such as worldwide delivery, http://www.sydneygadgets.com.au is the only place to go for Firecards! You'll also find the greatest deals available!

Play Tetris Nintendo NES Game Online Free Right Now

Tetris is very innovative puzzle game that involves making lines with falling pieces. It was designed and programed by Alexey Pajitnov in Moscow, Russia. That also explains the crazy Russian music. But why did it become such a groundbreaking game?

That is because Nintendo and Tengen (Atari) were fighting for the rights to it. That was settled in that Nintendo got rights to console and handheld systems. Tengen got rights to Arcade Systems. Tetris was also the first original Gameboy game. So the phenomenon of Tetris were spreading like wildfire.

Nintendo kept putting out Tetris titles for their future systems which spread the legacy to the next generation of gamers. Today though since the Original Tetris and Nintendo became rarer to find it was looked for more online.

It is not difficult to find online but some websites follow the traditional Tetris ideas and themes better. On a rare occurrence you might be able to find a copy of Tengen Tetris which is the rarest Nintendo game ever created. That is due to copyright infringement with Nintendo's rights.

The game itself was popular because of the falling pieces to different handicaps and speeds. Also in some versions of Tetris the ability to play multi-player. The game was challenging to everyone regardless of age. The theme of the game gets repetitive after awhile so you can not play days on end. Besides that the game is overall a groundbreaking game in video game history.

So the reason to play Tetris can be summed up simply. It was the first truly groundbreaking puzzle game for the original Nintendo NES, Gameboy, and Tengen Arcade Machines.
