Earlier this week, President Obama delivered a speech to the American Medical Association. His speech mainly focused on health care, but there was a short remark about video games. The President, while speaking about “taking more responsibility for our health and the health of our children” said that kids should “step away from the video games and spend more time playing outside.” So how does Peter Moore fit into all of this? Mr. Moore, in a recent blog update, poked a bit of fun at President Obama and issued a challenged of sorts regarding an EA product – EA Sports Active.
“As a father of three and someone who spends many a morning or lunch hour out on a run and/or in the gym, I applaud the President urging Americans to get off the couch and get active. Of course, I can’t resist pointing out that while I’ve always wholeheartedly endorsed moderation in anything you do, including playing games, it may be time for the President and his family to put their Wii to good use and fire up the 30-Day Challenge with EA SPORTS Active. This is a ‘game’ even the President may not want to “step away” from…In fact, I know he’s in pretty good shape, but I guarantee the President wouldn’t look quite so smooth walking across the White House lawn to Marine One the morning after his first session with EA SPORTS Active (especially if he does those pesky lunges)!…Mr. President, here is my challenge to you: Try EA SPORTS Active and I guarantee you’ll need aides saying ‘Yes You Can!’ to finish your first workout.”
With the release of The Conduit on the horizon, many Wii owners are greatly anticipating what they believe to be one of the summer’s hottest titles. And with a game that features a great weapons selection, solid online play and startlingly customizable control, who can blame them? Many gamers have pre-ordered the title (myself included) and even more have set aside the money to buy the game as soon as it launches. But what about those who haven’t? Here are the top reasons why they need to re-route their most recent paycheck to The Conduit.

Capcom was present at the World Hobby Fair which has been taking place over the weekend and announced a new Mega Man title. It’s not Mega Man 10 unfortunately, but it is Rockman EXE Operator Shooting Star for the Nintendo DS. It’s a Star Force and Battle Network crossover and should be releasing in Japan later this year. Other than that, you’ll have to wait a few weeks before any additional details, as more information will be shared in the September issue of CoroCoro. That edition of the magazine will arrive in August.
