We have already discussed wii fits balance games, in a word, awesome. Now we'll move onto Yoga, Aerobics, and Strength training, ready?

YOGA:

It's funny, the testers had a choice of several postures. Most of the guys chose the more macho "warrior pose," while the gals tended to choose the "half moon" or "tree" pose.

The Nintendo wii fit yoga segment had nice visual effects. Your indicator for doing a yoga pose correctly was keeping a red dot within a yellow colored rectangle on the screen. The red dot represented your "center". However, testers could keep the dot centered in the yellow rectangle even while doing the yoga pose in the wrong way.

Correctly practicing yoga requires a trained instructor to guide newbies through the proper techniques. For an experienced individual, the Wii could provide a different way to practice. For beginners, my advice - seek professional Inst. first if your serious about yoga.

AEROBICS:

Only two of the four aerobic games available at basic play level, hula-hoop and basic step, were used by testers. Why? We wanted to keep the wii fit Balance Board active in the process; two other activities involved jogging in place- off the board, and were not used. In basic step, you step on and off the board to a musical rhythm, trying to keep up with your onscreen class. In hula-hoop, you swivel your hips as fast as you can while reaching out to catch additional hoops thrown to you from the sides.

Testers found the activities fun & entertaining. Aerobically it wasn't too much of a challenge. The hula-hoop segment was more of a work out than basic step. Half the females who did the hula-hoop stated they got some muscular workout.

STRENGTH:

Testers could choose among torso twists, single leg extensions, lunges, and push-ups. The push-ups are done with your hands placed on the wii fit Board. Testers found the strength activities challenging in both strength and balance, with just about everyone rating the "exercises" enjoyable. It is possible to get a workout; it all depends on your current level of fitness.

CONCLUSION:

The nintendo Wii Fit provides entertainment, that's a no-brainer. But will enhance your fitness, again, yes - no question about it when it's played daily. For folks who need a nudge to get off the couch, and those interested in a different, healthier approach to video gaming, the Wii Fit definitely offers an appealing choice.

So what is this strategy game with a name I can't pronounce? Dai Senryaku VII is a turn-based strategy game on a hexagonal grid for the Xbox that is imported from Japan. Before that worries you, it is all in English, in fact, besides the title, you wouldn't even know it was produced outside of the U.S. Dai Senryaku VII (abbreviated as DS7 for both our sakes) offers a very in-depth look at modern military conflict that is extremely satisfying. Even though it is for an aging system and won't be found in any stores offline, DS7 is definitely worth checking out.

DS7 lets you play as one of eight nations' modern militaries, with a total of over 400 different, real-world units to select from. Ranging from infantry, tanks, artillery, fighters, aircraft carriers, and many other types, it's easy to find the unit balance that fits the map being played and your play style. Units are produced (in free-play mode) only in proximity to one's Headquarters, with ships being built in ports and aircraft in airports. Each nation is presented realistically, which means that the U.S. and Russia will have better units than Japan or France, but it will cost them in deployment expenses. Logistics must also be managed, and supply trucks, ships, and tanker aircraft are vital in long-range fighting. Combat also takes place at different altitudes, with aircraft flying high, helicopters skimming the surface, troops on the ground, ships on the water, and submarines under it. Most units also carry several different weapons. A light helicopter may only carry machine guns, aircraft will have several types of missiles, ships will have a variety of weapons, and even infantry can carry anti-tank rockets, SAMs, and mortars. The depth will overwhelm those new to the playstyle, but will bring relief and add to the experience for a military buff. The camera is also very controllable and friendly.

There is a lengthy campaign that is linear, but the fighting armies are represented as different colors, with the player taking control of different nations from one mission to the next. Difficulty increases at a good pace, and the missions are widely varied to avoid repetition. Free-play mode allows the player to fight on any of the campaign maps, several dozen free scenarios, and even player-created maps from the map editor. Options are open to the player, including nations, funds, and alliances. The maps range from real-world looking, to made-up, and even the bizarre, like the moon and earth, or the outline of a cartoon face. The multiple options and map editor allow unlimited replayability.

So hopefully you've been fully introduced to a strategy game you've probably never heard of. That being said, I recommend checking DS7 out. While you won't find it in any store (most likely), it can be found online at Amazon.com and the like for a bargain price. It is very in-depth for a console game, and offers a lot of realism. Between the campaign, free-play, and a map editor, you won't get bored quickly. I highly suggest Dai Senryaku VII as one of the very few strategy games for the Xbox.
