I should start by introducing myself. I'm not affiliated with Nutrisystem nor Nintendo. I'm just a guy who's been on the chunky side for as long as I can remember. I've joined gyms, bought exercise equipment, and tried diets. But I get bored after 5 minutes on a treadmill. And I love good food. Sound like anyone you know?
But it's the 21st century, and with it comes two giant leaps for mankind. First, a diet plan that doesn't involve complex calculations, group meetings, or bizarre rituals like removing the buns from hamburgers. Second, a video game system that not only gets you off your butt, but gets your butt off you. I've heard good things about both Nutrisystem and the Wii, but I figured I'd see what happens when I put the two of them together. Follow my progress!

Ubisoft’s Gold’s Gym Cardio Workout has been in this site’s Top 10 Wii Fitness Games List since it first came out a year and a half ago.

On September 17, 2010, Playstation will be releasing the PlayStation Move to the Playstation 3, while on November 4, 2010, Microsoft will be releasing Kinect for the Xbox 360. Neither are new [...]

I know a lot of you have been asking about Ubisoft’s new title Gold’s Gym Dance Workout. It was released a few days ago on August 16, and if early reviews are to be believed, it’s going to be a pretty good one (Ubisoft has been pretty sneaky about getting fake reviews for their products [...]

4 out of 5 stars While not bearing as much resemblance to the popular DVD series of the same name as I would have liked, this a title that stands on its own as a solid and very affordable Wii fitness game. Reviewer: Nutwiisystem August 16, 2010 I’ve had a copy of 10 Minute Solution [...]

After Netflix, Redbox, and cable company video-on-demand, it seems that Blockbuster is getting a little stale. Today, Blockbuster announced that they were starting to offer video game [...]

They claimed that you could “Learn 4 different dance styles…each with a progressively complex set of over 40 real steps”. So when I read that, I figured this would a game where one could actually learn and perform real [...]

Just Dance was a revolution in dancing games. Before it, most dance games just consisted of moving your hands or stomping your feet to an on-screen cue. Just Dance was the first game to incorporate real dance moves to choreographed steps. Dance on Broadway plays pretty much the same as Just Dance. It retains most [...]
