EA Sports Active, which will be in stores on May 19, provides a very different approach to fitness than Nintendo's Wii Fit. In the words of EA Sports president Peter Moore, EA Sports Active has more of a "Western approach to fitness, versus the more Eastern concepts seen in Wii Fit like yoga and stretching."
EA Sports Active features a wide variety of activities that target upper body, lower body, as well as cardio exercises and each daily workout routine is designed feel different than the last while increasing intensity. The game tracks movement by monitoring the motions of both the Wii remote and the Nunchuk attachment, and it comes packaged with a special strap that allows you to attach the Nunchuk controller to your leg so the game can "see" how much you're moving around. The game is also bundled with resistance bands for strength training routines, and is compatible with the Wii Fit balance board for specific exercises.

What the heck is wrong with EA. Some of those games aren't even two years old. Hardly even a year and a half some of them.
And they only JUST put that simpsons game on psn and xbl, and they're pulling the plug already?
Yeah I'm glad I got that as a PS plus game because I'd be pissed if I bought that
I think you may have got the wrong simpsons game, the one spoken about in the article is this one

EA need to change their business tactics, it's obvious they are bleeding money even with all the sports franchises they hold.

I decided to browse around the web for decent games that burn fat. What i found was Zumba Fitness, UFC Trainer and EA Sports Active.
