Gamercise GZ Sport

How do they name these things, I ask you. Exergame BO 4000 X-treme. There. Or RobociZOR VD Advance. Seriously. Thinkgeek are selling these little chaps at a slightly frightening $159+.  I think they're eighty bux from my beloved SkyMall, but then again, they're only called Flex-n-Step over there and they don't plug into your games console.

The Gamercize GZ Sport exercise and gaming peripheral attaches to your Playstation 2, bypassing your controller. If you want your game to work, you have to work as well. The pedal or stepper attachment notices when you're working out, and when you're slacking. If you're working hard enough, your controller remains connected to the console. If you stop, your play is interrupted. No whining!

The best thing about this pic is the title: "Sweatin' and Fraggin'".

At least the lady at the back was actually cycling when they took the photo, you can see the foot blur.

I couldn't do it on a step machine. I would get over excited and fall off!

Crappy idea in general in my opinion.

I've posted a blog with some videos using the the BodyPad fighting system. It's similar to the Wii

in that you can throw real punches to throw punches in-game, but different in that it works with

PS2 and XBOX. It also allows for kicks so that you can control most fighting games.

These are all games I own and play regularly with the BodyPad system. 19 games so far.
- Capcom Classic Collection
- Dead or Alive 3
- Def Jam: Fight for NY
- Dynasty Warriors 4
- Fight Club
- Fight Night 2004
- Guilty Gear X2
- Knockout Kings 2002
- Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
- Metal Slug 3
- Midway Arcade Treasures 2
- Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
- Ninja Gaiden
- Rocky
- Rocky: Legends
- Soul Caliber 2
- Tao Feng
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles
- X-Men Legends

Check out the blog if interested. It really is a great workout and I think anyone using a Wii might

enjoy this also...

This actually lets you walk to play. And works with just about any game.
