Wellness, Fitness, videogames aren’t necessarily words that all fit together, but things have been changing in the interactive world in recent years. New technology and a desire on the industry’s part to shed the slovenly reputation of the hobby have given new avenues for the health conscious to start using games to get fit. In this issue, Cody discusses Nintendo turning the spotlight on fitness gaming, Raynika backs this up by discussing how WiiFit popularized “exergaming” and Liana discusses her gaming habits while biking.
