Game Reviews

In reviewing exergames, we consider their effectiveness in burning calories or increasing stamina or balance, as well as their potential as fun activities. We provide specifics as to which audience or audiences they are best for, identify the consoles on which the games can be played, and provide honest feedback on how much fun we had playing the game. Take advantage of the “comment” feature, and leave your own feedback on the games.

Contributing members are researchers in their fields and have helped launch the use of exergames as tools to combat obesity in their communities and beyond. New Mexico State University researchers and their partners have been funded to research the impact of exergames, develop specific recommendations for exergame use, and implement exergaming programs. As part of that project, this website provides access to resources based on research, sample projects, and input from the exergaming community.
