Do you remember the Asteroids video game? It's one of the most basic video games ever. The player has to shoot asteroids with his or her tiny spaceship and avoid being smashed.

As I near the homestretch of my EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge, I am thoroughly impressed with how much muscle strength I've gained and how I feel generally healthier. After my issues with the Wii sensor and resistance bands last week, I decided to skip the bicep curls and upright rows since I couldn't seem to get my new resistance band to work with them (yes — even when I was going reallly slow and following the instructor!). Thankfully the game still gives me lots of upper-body workouts so I don't really notice that the other workouts are gone.

It's hard to believe I'm already in the throws of week three of the EA Sports Active challenge. I learned a lot after last week's trials and tribulations, so I decided to step it up a bit this week.
I took to Target and purchased a fancy resistance band that included handles and all, and as backup, I also got a box of three bands offering different resistances.

If you tend to like games that are more belt-your-heart-out than shoot-'em-up, then you need a good Karaoke game for parties (and those nights alone when you've just got to sing and do jazz hands until you pass out). Check out my favorite leading Karaoke games for the big 3 of next-generation video game consoles.

With DJ Hero now available for pre-order on Amazon (coming bundled with the game and the deck on October 27 for $120), I can't help but get a little excited. Sure, I didn't get my hands on the game at E3, but there were demos every 30 minutes for us to see. Judging by the size of the crowd that formed at every demo (and by the amount of celebri-gamers at the release party), I'm pretty sure it's going to be a hit.

My 30 Day EA Sports Active challenge continues, and for those of you who left comments and feedback about your own experience with the challenge, I must say, I am already feeling many of the same things!
In the beginning, I was really skeptical that this game could actually get me sweating and burn calories, but as each workout ups the calorie-burning level, you are guaranteed to be sweating within the first 10 minutes. And although this game isn't full of a ton of cardio (there are some running exercises which incorporate knee-ups and kick-ups), you'd be surprised how many calories you burn while working your muscle groups (those jumps in the inline skating exercise kill!).

So I can say this now, but I was really, really nervous that Beatles: Rock Band was not going to do my favorite band of all-time justice. Then I saw the trailer and was bolstered with hope. And then of course, I experienced it at E3 and all my potential disappointment wasted away.

With E3 being such a big expo, it's a challenge to keep all the games you see straight. But one game I can't stop thinking about is Just Cause 2. Although I haven't played the first installment of the franchise, I'm really surprised at how much I'm looking forward to the second title in the series.

Get ready, get set, because I've teamed up with the ladies over at Green Pixels for our 30 Day EA Sports Active challenge! I'm all warmed up after a some fun cardio and strength training exercises, and am excited to see what week two will bring.
Included in the EA Sports Active kit (which costs $57) is the Sports Active Wii disc, a leg strap which will hold the nunchuck in place while you hold the Wiimote, and a resistance band to increase the intensity of certain exercises like bicep curls and shoulder presses.
