Stopped Playing Wii Fit? What You Need Is a Damn Zombie!

Zombies games are in. Fitness games are in. Why haven’t these two been combined yet? Where SEGA made Typing of the Dead – a spin-off of its popular House of the Dead series – why not a Running of the Dead? Why not take this exercise genre and make it more exciting? People don’t need the individualized workout routines of Wii Fit Plus and EA Sports Active; they need a damn zombie chasing them through the woods to make them run!

And why stop there? Why not make a Running of the Bulls game? Or a multiplayer game that’s an on-rails shooter for one player and an exercise game for the other? We’ve seen a flood of exercise games in the past couple of years. Why are they all so serious and dry? Maybe we’ll see a Wii, Sony Move, Microsoft Wave reveal at E3 next week. Who knows?
