Na it uses 3 different heart rate monitors to calculate calories burned, motion tracking and also your heart rate. It also comes with a large resistance band, which you can use by itself or in conjunction with some weights if you have them lying about. You can set up different "training" schedules, and I have gone for the full 9 week training, and so far, have had 2 good, solid "workouts" of about 1hr in length. It also tracks everything you do and also gives you trophies if you are that way inclined. Now I know there are going to be some skeptics who say, well it's not as good as going to the gym etc etc, but personally I don't have time to go to the gym, get changed, find a machine, etc etc. It would take me about 2 hours in total, to get everything done. This game means I can come home, get changed, do some exercise, and have a shower, which you will need!, and burn about 500 calories in one session. If you have a spare 15quid lying about, and have access to zavvi, and want to try it out, I would recommend it. Sounds a bit too serious for my ps3 to attend. Link to post Share on other sites

kkk 7 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Portal 2 is an awesome game. I have spent many hours on that and nearly done I think. Had to cheat once or twice when I was just totally stuck. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Originally Posted By: klingon Do you get some bonus Fun levels if you burn up a certain amount? You do - you get some football levels, basketball levels and also some mountain biking levels (crouch/squat to go faster). Did another workout today on this game and weighed myself when I got home from work. Have already "lost" about 0.5kgs, perhaps from this or the combination of eating healthier and drinking slightly less. Lots of strength building done today, such as crunches with punches, which were pure pain. No pain, no exercise or something like that. Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Still on Dirt 3 which really is a great game. If you like the rally style of racing in particular I would highly recommend it. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Saving grace for the 3ds is that it can play ds games. Seems to be really struggling though so these big titles coming out -- too late? Link to post Share on other sites

Sony's next system launches in its home territory on December 17th." Just announced. Will it be region locked in any way? That is the question. Link to post Share on other sites
