We mentioned last week that we wouldn’t be surprised to see several fitness games in the charts this week, as many of us strive to get rid of our Christmas shame. It turns out we were correct as Wii Fit Plus, EA Sports Active 2, and Your Shape: Fitness Evolved all grace us with their presence.
All in all there really isn’t that much to report this week, except for the stunning return of Mass Effect 2 in the charts. So what’s the reason for this? Well, retailer GAME dropping the price to £4.98 may have been a slight factor. If you own an Xbox 360 and haven’t played ME2 you really should give it a blast.

I bought Mass Effect 2 for £5, great deal, also purchased the 1st for £10 lol. It’s good to see NFS hanging up so high.

Agree good to see people still buying NFS. And GT5, considering it’s a single platform release!
Come on GT5!

I’m seriously tempted by EA Sports Active 2. I’ve heard it’s an incredible workout. The only thing stopping me is that I’ve paid for a gym membership and I don’t use it enough now so buying this game would almost certainly stop me from going altogether. That and the fact my housemates will piss themselves with laughter when they see me exercising in front of the TV…

I picked it up before xmas and it certainly get’s the heart thumping, mind you i’ve only done one full workout so far! :)
Occasionally it doesn’t detect the sensors, with the skipping for instance,so you end up doing a few extra reps but for the most part it’s pretty good.

I am in the gym 4 times a week religiously. I have been training hard since I quit smoking, which was when the ban came in. My bro has this for his PS3 and it is very good. Very Good indeed. If you are interested in getting Fit and dont want the hassle of gym memberships etc, go for it man…..

It’s a very good work out and it’s dropped below £50 online now.
Your mates will stop laughing if they have a go. It’s certainly not a walk in the park.

Take a look at Ubisoft’s Your Shape as well, I’s sure I’ve read (although I maybe wrong) that it is the best of this years fitness releases

I’ll probably get that when I get the XBox and Kinect when I upgrade my phone in a couple of months.

It’s absolutely evil on the PS3.
Unfortunately, that’s not a glitch, but me being a quivering lump when I workout.
I need to get fit, but it’s too damn hard!

My wife and I picked up Your Shape: Fitness Evolved, and besides for it being kid of boring, it is an ass kicker… especially if you use the 5lbs weights it suggests using for certain workouts. My first workout put me down for the count for a few days. :)

God cant believe ye’s have mass effect out now over in England on PS3! read somewhere that it was out on the 11th of jan, never occuring to me that wasn’t Irelands release date. Was super excited for tommorrow to get my hands on it, imagine my dismay when gamestop today said “mate that’s not out till the 21st of jan”! What a load of balls! my stupid mistake i suppose! Ha!

I don’t know how I can bring myself to pay full price for me2 on ps3 when it is so cheap on xbox and pc (i have all 3)
