Pink Nintendo 3DS

Just in time for the most romantic holiday of the year, Nintendo announced the pearl pink 3DS hitting shelves on Feb. 10 for $170. If you've got a sweetheart with a gaming addiction, the 3DS provides the fun of the well-known DS gaming system with the extra added bonus of glasses-less 3D. Since amazing 3D games seem to be a little hard to come by, you might consider buying Super Mario 3D Land ($40) to go along with it.

First Look at Doctor Who PlayStation 3 Game

Ready the controllers and clear some room in your personal TARDIS, the Doctor Who PlayStation 3 game is inching closer to a place on the retail floor.

Ready the controllers and clear some room in your personal TARDIS, the Doctor Who PlayStation 3 game is inching closer to a place on the retail floor. Below is the first look at Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock, slated for release in the first half of 2012.

As you'd expect, players travel through space and time as the Doctor and River Song, it's not so easy though — the actions of one era directly impacts play in another era. In addition to PS 3, the game will be available to PlayStation Vita and PC consoles.

Watch PlayStation's trailer for the video game that is very much a tease featuring the voices of Matt Smith and Alex Kingston (who plays River) after the break.

5 Fitness Games to Help You Burn Off Holiday Bulge

The family binging events are over, so now it's time to talk resolutions and fighting off some of that bulge you may have picked up during the holiday season.

The family binging events are over, so now it's time to talk resolutions and fighting off some of that bulge you may have picked up during the holiday season. Good news is there are plenty of ways to burn some calories without spending half an afternoon in the gym. Fire up your favorite gaming console and pop in one of these titles that will have you working up a sweat in no time.

  1. Your Shape Fitness Evolved ($34) — Working with the Xbox 360 and Kinect sensor, this game provides a personalized fitness program based on your skill level, but the Kinect actually senses where your joints are to give you proper form tips while you're playing. Add in special martial arts and weight loss classes led by actual celebrity trainers, and you have yourself a pretty amazing fitness game that really isn't a game at all.
  2. The Fight: Lights Out ($20) — I like The Fight (which works in conjunction with the PlayStation Move), and in comparison to other fitness specific video games it doesn't feel like a workout; it just feels like fun.
  3. Get Fit With Mel B ($) — Another PlayStation Move title, Get Fit With Mel B seems like it would be a good alternative to the gym; mostly cause Mel B is ripped, and if this helps her stay fit, it's gotta work for me, right?
  4. Just Dance 2 ($34) — Like DDR before it, the Wii-compatible Just Dance 2 lets you work up a sweat with some awesome moves, and sing along to popular music. It doesn't get any better than that!
  5. EA Sports Active 2 ($45) — I'm already a big fan of the EA Sports Active titles, so pairing it with the Kinect system is sure to give me an even better, more engaging workout experience.
