Now that we have exergames, let's add musigames and buildagames. Perhaps we can get these terms in Rev's New Gamer Dictionary!

Ugh, I hate all these new buzz words people come up with.

Also, your first question is a loaded one.

I kinda feel bad for the boy in the picture. This kid's tits are being broadcasted to the entire world right now.

You only hate it until there is a Chocobo dancing exergame, admit it! ;)

This is kind of an old buzzword, as its a derivative of "Exertainment" which was come up with back in the snes days for Mountain Bike Rally which was a game that could come built into an exercise bike so people would actually use it to exercise! Quite the rare find today. http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/home/938683.html

I feel bad that I thought it was Jim as I scrolled past.

Before the inevitable criticisms of such games start to come in...

As someone who just got Wii Fit, I have to say that I'm currently in extreme pain in my calves because of that game. Having not exercised in quite a while, I did two 30 minute segments two days in a row, mixing strength training, yoga, and some of the balance games. Right now I can barely walk up and down stairs because using Wii Fit.

Frankly, I love it because it's letting me know how out of shape I've been. I was sweating like crazy after two rounds of Super Hula Hoop, and my legs have been in pain for the past two days. AS far as I"m concerned, this stupid game is actually worth playing if you want to do something about your weight.

Now, with respect to "exergame" ... that phrase was apparently dreamed up by the same jackass who came up with "mebibyte" and "gibibyte", phrases that that I absolutely refuse to use. "Casual gamer", "Exergame", ugh...

And, tornotlukin, don't you give them any ideas! What's next? "Oh, Okami! That's a wolvigame!"

Can't be any worse than edutainment.

What has science done?!

ITS MULTICORECASEXERGAME NOOBS

Bloody buzz words, along with blue-sky thinking manager bullshit are a scar on this race of ours.

And yeah, I'd still rather go the gym, run, or play sports than buy into this bollocks.

OH THIS NEW GAMING PHASE.

Because you know, DDR hasn't been out for ages or anything...

When I was in high school, I friend and I had a small campaign which we brought to elementary school educating them about how DDR could be used as a phys. ed. tool. The kids loved it.

How about watching what your overweight kid eats and make sure he's not failing gym..

Done and done.

I think it means Olivia Munn still puts down fat people and she's a cunt. Who deserves to become fat herself.

@mix
I dunno... I'm pretty fat, and I managed to pass gym back in my heyday.

DDR > "Exergame" shit. Don't bring the awesomeness of DDR down to that level.

You guys are all so finicky. What is honestly wrong with "exergaming"?? Sure it's not the most clever title, but that's what happens when you mesh 2 completely different activities together. Soon it'll likely be shortened to EGs anyways. Here, I'll come up with some worse phrases:
- TBG (total body game)
- AG (active gaming)
- SIG (sweat-inducing game)
- CG (cardio-gaming)
- TG (training game)
- LFG (Lose the Fat game)
- MWG (muscle-workout game)

@atastysammich

I'm a little overweight myself, we should hang out!

Someone got paid ALOT of money to come up with 'exergames'.

Wii fit is such a joke.

If you want to lost weight do DDR for reals it actually makes you really move. Unless you have retarded feet

Such arrogance spoken from someone who clearly has not tried Wii Fit.
