You will never un-see this. Ever.
I’ve been writing a lot about the whole fitness gaming genre recently. I’m doing so because I think the genre has a tremendous amount of potential to really push video games as something good in our lives instead of the common misconception that gaming is bad for you (a misconception that, unfortunately, our current President seems to share).
As with anything that becomes a hit in popular culture, though, there will inevitably be a flood of cheap imitators that simply wish to capitalize on the success of those who came before them. Airplane! was brilliant. Meet The Spartans? Not so much. Creativity and innovation have a tendency to get watered down in pursuit of the all mighty dollar in the long run.
I don’t think we’ve gotten quite to that point when it comes to the exergame genre yet, but I know we have at least one entry that’s causing me to react with a hearty WTF?
