Video Games Lineup to Promote Healthier Life Choices
We are seeing many changes today in the video game industry, and one of the bigger transformations is a merge towards more healthy gaming options. Games and even entire console systems are being created to help encourage the gamer to get up and get moving. There is a higher focus on educational games as well as fitness games. It’s all about helping to promote healthier life choices. Here are some examples of specific video games that are helping to promote healthier life choices:
Fitness Games
* EA Sports Active 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii)
* Your Shape Fitness Evolved (Xbox 360)
* The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout (Xbox 360)
* Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010 (Wii and NDS)
* Gold’s Gym Dance Workout (Wii)
* Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board (Wii)
* Family Party: Fitness Fun (Wii)
Fitness games help promote healthier life choices by getting the player up and moving. They debunk the myth that all gamers are overweight and lazy. They show that video games can be a part of a healthy, fit lifestyle. They can also be encouraging to the gamer who normally would not get up off of the couch. Many are developed to be competitive and to spark that competitive nature in the gamer that makes you want to win. Fitness games help you feel good about your time spent gaming.
Educational Games
* Smarty Pants: Trivia for Everyone (Wii)
* Big Brain Academy series (Wii and NDS)
* My Spanish Coach (PSP and NDS)
* Personal Trainer: Math (NDS)
* Spelling Challenges and More (PSP and NDS)
* 100 Classic Books(NDS)
* My Word Coach (Wii and NDS)
Educational games are not a new concept but they are growing more than ever before and being developed for even younger and younger audiences. Educational video games help promote healthier life choices by putting a focus on learning and education. It’s cool to learn and trivia can be fun. These are the types of games that challenge the mind and can even increase learning potential once the player has stepped away from the game.
Eco Friendly Games
* Petz Rescue Endangered Paradise (NDS)
* Endless Ocean: Blue World (Wii)
* Arctic Tale (Wii and GBA)
* World of Zoo (Wii, NDS, and PC)
* Viva Pinata series (Xbox 360, NDS, and PC)
* Wild Earth: African Safari(Wii)
* Eco Creatures: Save The Forest (NDS)
Eco friendly games are also making an appearance in the gaming world. More and more people are taking a step forward to reduce their carbon footprint and live a greener life. Video games are now being designed with this focus in mind. Often it has a background presence in the game and other times, it is the entire focus of the game itself. In additional to green games, the Nintendo Wii has taken one step farther and created eco-friendly gaming cases for the Wii. This means that every game you buy for the Wii is a purchase that you can feel better about, knowing that it was made with green practices.
Family Games
* Hasbro Family Game Night 3 (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii)
* Mario Party 8 (Wii)
* Disney Sing It: Family Hits (PS3, Wii)
* EyePet (PS3)
* Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii)
* Rayman Raving Rabbids series (Wii, NDS, Xbox 360, PS2, PC)
* Karaoke Revolution (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii)
Family games help promote healthier life choices by giving the family something they can all do together. It decreases the time spent in solo game play and it can help the family bond. If you have a child who particular loves video games, you can spend some time playing together instead of nagging over why he is playing so much. You can also get all of the children together for family games which helps them learn to spend quality time together, support one another and be competitive in a healthy way.
Each of these games is in its own way helping to promote healthier life choices. As you can see, newer games are coming out every day with a focus on positive life choices and positive gaming. These are all big steps forward in the world of positive video games and changing the face of what video gaming really means. We can expect that this trend will continue as long as video games continue to evolve and continue to be such a big part of our lives.
