Geometry Wars 2.<\/p>\n

It has all the exercise benefit of a techno rave without the dangerous side effects of illicit drugs, permanent scarring from the sight of scary looking things “dancing”, and the horror of witnessing grown men and women chomping on pacifiers. \u00a0 (Don’t ask me how I know these things.\u00a0 It’s a long story that I have only shared with my wife and will not repeat again without serious counseling and\/or imbibing.)<\/p>\n

But I digress.\u00a0 I think my average was 3500 steps in 30 minutes before I started playing this game.\u00a0 Thanks to the techno beat and frenetic pace of the game I think I will exceed 14000 steps soon (Just kidding, though I did hit 3775 recently).\u00a0 Mind you I am a bit concerned about the smoke coming from the yoga mats below the Wii board.\u00a0 To top it off, my online nemesis got upset when I beat all of his high scores recently, so he played until his fingers fell off and hit some pretty high scores himself.\u00a0 The gauntlet has been thrown down.<\/p>\n
