I had heard about this and thought it was interesting, it is a game that someone made with a bra and boxer controller combo for their thesis. The game plays kind of like DDR and there are different sensors you have to touch to achieve “sexy time”, unfortunately the presenter of this thesis could make a sober man drink with her horrible monotone voice. I can see Nintendo making this concept a game in Japan for the Wii, they are probably working on patents for the Wii Bra and Wii Boxers right now.

EA’s latest hybrid of DDR and Guitar Hero, Boogie for the Nintendo Wii, just had it’s musical lineup announced. It looks to be very heavily influenced by the 90’s. Here are the tracks:

ABC by The Jackson 5
Baila Me by Gypsy Kings
Boogie Oogie Oogie by Taste Of Honey
Brick House by The Commodores
Canned Heat by Jamiroquai
Celebration by Kool & The Gang
Dancing in the Street by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas
Dancing Machine by Jackson 5
Don’t Cha by Pussycat Dolls / Busta Rhymes
Fergalicious by Fergi
Get Right by Jennifer Lopez

For the rest hit the jump but be warned Love Shack, Mambo #5 and YMCA await you.
Hit the jump for more…

Thats right finally someone has stepped up and written an article to defend the activity of playing video games. Yahoo Games recently had an article in which they discuss five reasons why video games are good for you.

1. They can improve your eyesight. Hand eye coordination is improved by playing shooters that force your eyes to track movements on a screen. A research stiuy at the University of Rochester showed increased accuracy to pick out objects out of a cluttered space after playing games like Halo and Gears for 30 hours. Although play 72 hours straight and I think you can actually see the 4th dimension and pink elephants.

2. They can help you focus.A Cornell study in conjuction with NASA showed kids with ADHD, attention disorders, benefited from playing games. They would actually focus on scoring higher or leveling and help them concentrate on that particular task.

3. They can help you lose weight.We all hear stories about the Wii and DDR and how you can lose weight, but this guy actually chronicles his weight loss. Break out your Wii remotes and get some tennis in to get those washboard abs.

4. They can help you understand classic literature.Ok I don’t quite see the direct correlation between GTA and Shakespeare but they do make some comparisons between current video game characters such as Master Chief as an epic hero. I guess so, at least if you get an RPG you’ll have to read somewhat.

5. They can literally save your life.This one is pretty kool. A doctor at New York’s Beth Israel Medical Center actually tells patients that he is “awesome at Super Monket Ball”. The doctor’s theory is that playing games made him a better surgeon and impacted his skills with laparoscopic surgery tools. Now that is something to hear from your doctor, I didn’t go to medical school but I f@ckin rock at Trauma Center, let’s get started!

6. They make you better in bed. Ok, ok… so I made this one up, but if you have played God of War I or II there is a mini-game in there that might give you ideas. The possibilities are endless.

All in all I think ths article puts a nice positive spin on gaming and has some substance to back it up. Now go out there and improve your life one game at a time.

I know we have all seen this kid, but I always break out when I see this oldie but goldie vid from kid just ripping it up in DDR.
