My boyfriend is devoting this summer to losing some weight and getting in shape, and has already taken the plunge by joining a gym and cooking better, healthier meals. He by no means is a gamer, and doesn't understand my infatuation with video games at all. However, when I suggested that we spice up his new health kick with Personal Trainer Walking for the DS, he was immediately on board, and didn't mind me shelling out the money for the game (the price tag is $50 - at least I had a $25 gift card to GameStop!).
And so far, we've really been enjoying competing with each other to see who meets their step goal for the day, and seeing who can be the bigger man and go for more steps the next day. And it's not a fierce competition; we go out for walks together and then pull out the DS every now and then to see how our results are panning out. It's actually quite fun, and I love how for once he's more excited for a game than I am...even though this isn't really an active video game. It's a start, though.
Sometimes gaming is better together. Are there certain video games that are surefire wins for couples?
