GameGrin's Ryan Davies writes: "So far, Wii Fit has proven to be a bit of an anomaly. The fitness game genre pretty much spawned directly from the 2008 smash hit, but since then we haven’t seen a game come close to either the quality or the success of Wii Fit. So for Ubisoft’s new fitness game, the aptly titled Shape Up, there’s a tough challenge on the horizon. Eschewing the serious tone of the original Wii title, Shape Up aims to make fitness fun - yet another challenge by all accounts. Of course, the Kinect 2.0 is by far a more able piece of technology than a Wiimote, so the game has an advantage on that count, but is a fun fitness videogame actually possible? I spent some time with the game recently and while I’m not totally sold as of yet, I can see this appealing to a lot of people out there."
Neil writes "The Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale for 2nd-8th June 2015 has been detailed and it's full of discounts for both Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners. But there are far too many for the average gamer to get their head around so let us take a look at the best, and the worst of the offers on the table this week."
I went for Monopoly because I'd been waiting for it to drop to a decent price for a while. Tekken is super cheap though which is tempting.
I will be getting Tekken 6 for sure at that price, and Metro 2033 and Last Light are now at a Price I am willing to pay. Good deals this month. Also that free tactics game on XB1 looks interesting.
GTM:
"Ignore everything Jillian Michaels has ever told you: getting in shape and losing weight is not fun. In fact, it is routinely the complete opposite. Doing it the hard way – hitting the gym and braving the roads – is a challenge most of us would rather avoid. And doing it the ‘easy’ way often involves maintaining an oppressive diet or, if you’re overly dramatic, a tube inserted into your stomach. So it should come as no surprise that we turn to videogames as an alternative. A desperate last resort to get over winter gluttony and back to a fitness level where we can run for the bus without pulling a muscle. At the very least, it’s an opportunity to earn a few achievements while trying to fit into last summer’s jeans."
Is it like Kinect Party with a fitness focus?
