Game of the Day - EA Sports Active

EA Sports Active for the Wii ($39.99) is Amazon's Video Game of the Day and part of their Countdown to Black Friday sale. It isn't as big a bargain as the 99 cent downloads, but for those just getting a Wii or Balance Board (or who have one already), it's a pretty good deal. I ordered this when it first came out - the workouts are a bit more intense than the basic ones with the Wii Balance Board (and it works much better than the Jillian Michaels Fitness game for the Wii, which my mother purchased and we both hate).

Game Description

• Game includes a deep co-operative multiplayer game mode.
• Engage in fitness made easy through 20 minute circuits feature a variety of familiar activities that target upper body, lower body as well as cardio.
• Follow the guidance, motivation and training tip of your very own virtual personal trainer.
• 30 day challenge' of tailor made 20 minute workouts, that change as you progress each day, and track calories, intensity and progress throughout your journey.
• Gameplay/workout options are extended with the included Nunchuck strap and resistance band accessories, and compatibility with the Wii Balance Board (not included).

Developed in collaboration with fitness expert Bob Greene, best known as Oprah's personal trainer, EA SPORTS Active provides a fun, inexpensive and easy to maintain regimen designed to encourage physical fitness and healthy living. A combination of a wide variety of interactive activities and exercises, linked together into an ever-changing circuit training routine targeting the muscles of the upper and lower body, as well as providing cardio for a healthy heart, it is the perfect exercise option for every member of a modern household.

I just took a glance thru the Video Games on the Black Friday Countdown and it looks like Big Beach Sports WII is available for $10 on that page ($15.82 normal), which is another decent looking deal.
