One of the great things about games is the chance to do things you might never otherwise do. Racing and flying are two good examples. How many of us are going to race an Indy 500 car or fly a WWII fighter plane? The Wii lets you do that and a whole lot more.

EA Sports Active is the most innovative fitness game yet for the Nintendo Wii console. With incredible features like multi-person workouts, a virtual personal trainer, fun fitness games, intensity-increasing accessories, a built-in wellness journal, and the brand-new 30 Day Challenge, it promises to be the best home workout you’ll ever have.

Video Games sometimes have the reputation for creating passive people, couch potatoes, bumps on a log…you get the idea. With Wii sports and outdoor games, however, this is far from accurate. You no longer have to just passively watch or work with just your hands. Instead, you become part of the action, central to it.

Some gamers enjoy a puzzle. Others want to role play. Still others seek adventure. Action games cover all these territories and more. With a Wii action game you can explore the unknown and test your wits to unlock a mystery, while pretending to be a favorite character.

A few years ago, Guitar Hero took the world by storm. Rock star wannabes all over the world were able to rock out to their favorite songs and learn to ‘play’ them by using a pretend guitar and pressing the colored buttons that match the notes on the screen. Everyone from teens to soccer moms to grandparents were playing Free Bird or Carry on My Wayward Son for hours, trying to advance to the next level.
