Does Wii Fit work?

Does the newest best-selling game actually work? The National Obesity Forum is now calling for children to stay away from Wii Fit, because it is misleading and has no true results. I think that the game would be cool and would get it if I could find it in any stores. All these review talk about is the yoga part and no other parts. It seems that they are out to make Wii Fit out to be a bad game, because of the yoga. All games have some bad part, but they still aren't bad games. Nintendo is trying to put its attention on to younger and older age groups with Fit, Brain Age and other games, but critics are still bashing on the game. At least Nintendo's trying to do this.

DX Studio

This is a 3D modeling program that I found. It has an online library that isnt too big but it has some cool things on it. The tutorials are really helpful on, but changing from the tutorial page and the program gets annoying. The program is the first one that I've used and I think it's pretty good.

360 tops 10 million units sold in the US

Microsoft has now officially sold 10 million Xbox 360 units. The 360 is the first next gen console to sell over 10 million units. People wonder if Microsoft has a chance to end the heat of the console war. But some people complain that Microsoft had a whole year head-start but thats just kind of stupid, because they don't have to wait for the Wii and PS3 to come out. But the Wii is closing the gap and has yet to let of steam and slow down on the sales. What I think is funny, is the arguments over the 360 and PS3, the first in the console war and last, and which is better, when the Wii is starting to catch up, and the Wii is more family oriented and aimed towards the whole crowd, young to old. The funny part is, if the PS3 was better than the 360, then why isn't it winning? I actually think that the Wii is going to surpass the 360 but the PS3 is going to lose steam.

Bioshock movie

The Bioshock movie is now official. Not much info is given out but the director is Gore Verbinski from The Pirates of the Carribean, and the writer is John Logan of Gladiator (one of my favorites). I still wonder if this is a joke because I have not heard much on the subject.

Blu-Ray is dying

The sales on the Blu-Ray Players are tanking. Some people thought that when Blu-Ray won the format war, that the sales would sky-rocket. Guess what? Nothing of the sort happened. They thought people would forget about the defects of Blu-Ray and help Sony. The players are too expensive and have 2 major defects to them, just for better resolution.

Game ratings

These are 10 things that I think should be used in game ratings:

1. Quality of the game

2. Story

3. The leveling up system or progression

4. Physics (how good they are, based on the game)

5. the variety of weapons

6. side quests or minigames

7. Different Enemies (same enemy but new and better gun......... too easy, enemies should have different abilities and weaknesses and strengths.)

8. The difficulties and easy parts in the game are varied

9. The goal is not defined in the beginning and is slowly formed during the game, unless the game depends on it.

10. The game sticks to the genre and is believable
