the Simpsons Game with jOG

Although the cell shaded graphics make the game look like the 2D cartoon, this game is actually a 3 dimensionsal platformer, an hilarious one too. Playing with the jOG I was struck by the irony of making Homer gorge chocolate and sweets in his fantasy chocolate land, shamelessly piling the calories on, whilst I burnt some off. The combination of jOGing and laughing out loud probably doubled the health benefits. If you enjoy the tv show and enjoy jOG then this combination is highly recommended!

Interesting jOG Fact of the Week

It increases the capacity to work and lead an active life. The fitter you are, the more active you can be. There are so many more opportunities available to people that are healthier and fitter.

'Mario Strikers' and 'Eledees' playable with jOG

'Mario Strikers Charged Football' features everyone's favorite Nintendo characters all psyched up and eager for the win. Despite being a challenging game the controls are easy to grasp and the aim is obvious, just score more goals than your rivals. Playing this game with the jOG works nicely, which ever player is selected/has-the-ball is the one who needs you to jog to make them run down the wing, dribble past defenders, or retreat to defend the counter attack.

'Eledees' is a game that makes excellent use of the Wiimote as a gravity gun. This enables you to lift and throw objects and furniture as you search around for the Eledees--small creatures who sap electrical power. I found this game incredibly fun, and the addition of the jOG really enhanced the experience. As the clock ticks down to zero the hunt for every last Eledee becomes increasingly frantic as you run about and try to zap the critters you've uncovered.

Both of these games are fast, fun and well worth trying with the jOG.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is a first-person action-adventure game. The player controls the protagonist, Samus Aran, using the Wii Remote, Nunchuk and jOG devices.

It is actually quite alot of fun! I highly recommend this game especially with jOG as it adds a whole new dimension to the game. The graphics are great and if you are a fan of the series you will love this game with jOG.

All the above games were tested by yours truly, and work great with jOG.

They were all available to be tested by people at the London Toy Fair 2009, below is a picture of jOG being used by two people at Re: Creation with Top Spin 3. The great thing about it was that it made playing tennis more realistic. You have to stay on the tips of your toes, constantly jOGging on the spot to play the game, whilst using your Wiimote as your racket. It was very tiring!

Although Top Spin was great my personal favorite would still have to be Lego Indianna Jones. The game starts off by letting you pick which adventure (or Movie) you wish to go on - I still haven't got the trick of the third one, where are you actually supposed to go after the library....answers on a post card please.....
