Nintendo has been this gamer's choice since 1987 when I first started saving Princess Zelda and blasting Space Pirates. Their interactive Wii is the best video game console available. Zelda and Metroid were the hits of 2007. Wii Fit's emphasis on health and fitness makes it one of the all-time great video games and the clear winner for 2008. This is a game for all ages, especially families. The friendly competition helps burn calories, tone muscles, and restore agility (limberness).
The game keeps a record of your metrics. You will know what exercises and diets help you lose weight and conversely what foods and events (Christmas holidays) add on the pounds. You can track progress in strength and balance as well. The game is packed with activities. It offers yoga conditioning, strength exercises, cardio training, and balance games.
I recommend Wii Fit for everyone, even if you have never played a video game before. You will learn alot about yourself and your health.
