GameStop encourages women to be 'active and healthy' ... and stuff
28
Jumping on the release of EA Sports Active this week, GameStop has revealed plans for a sports and gaming hybrid campaign targeting the ladies. A cadre of pseudo-celebs and the game retailer have teamed up to promote women's health through a recently launched website called "Fit at Any Age."
Variousgeneric crucial health information is available on staying fit in your 20s through your 50s, as well as abbreviated interviews with each of the celebrities involved. We hate to be the naysayers but this thing stinks of advertising and half-assery. Those looking for good health advice along with their copy of EA Sports Active, well, probably aren't reading this site. But if you are, you probably wanna head somewhere other than the "Fit at Any Age" campaign site.

Gamestop wants women to be health? Do they sell contraceptives? because I know a game that doesn't require a console to be healthy.

I think it'd be great if they made a fitness game that was just a regular game, but had a lot of exercise mechanics attached to it. I want a story and adventure to my game, even if it's a "fitness" game. An Onimusha/Ninja Gaiden/God of War style game where you have to wave around weighted objects would be fun. Sure it would be gimmicky to many, but I wouldn't mind.
And I would still like to see an FPS game where you physically have to run in order to move your character in-game.

Oh and perhaps such a game would not involve running during any of the combat. A light gun/on-rails game where you only "run" to the next battle could work ok i think.
