Everyone loves the Wii. It’s easy enough to use, has innovative motion capture controls, and
after you’ve been at it awhile, you find yourself sweating as if you’ve
actually, gasp, exercised. Maybe you’ve
even lost a few pounds from gyrating around while playing Wii Sports. Perish the thought that non-Dance Dance
Revolution games might cause some accidental fitness!
There have been other attempts to connect exercise to video games, mostly involving stationary bikes used to power video game consoles, but that’s way out of the reach of the normal consumer, right? Wrong. If you’ve got $159.99 - $179.99 to spend, ThinkGeek has a Gamercize GZ Sport with your name on it.
The Gamercize GZ Sport is an attachment for the PS2 or original Xbox (either stair stepper or exercycle style that monitors how hard you’re working out. If you drop below a certain level of work then the system cuts you off and you have to kick it up a notch to get back to fragging noobs. It’ll burn up to 600 calories an hour on the highest setting, so if you don’t lose weight, you’re not trying.
