Active Gaming

With technology advancing these days it's not at all surprising that videogames have become more and more interactive. One can now literally be a "part of the game," not by the simple task of controlling a character, but by being a character themselves. With new game systems such as the Nintendo Wii the world of videogames has taken us into a new realm; a realm in which we are no longer just the onlookers but the characters which we dominate. To put it simply, we are who we play.

Active gaming has become a popular trend among the young and even the old. Kids, teens, and parents alike are all enjoying games that keep one constantly on their toes, and anxiously craving for more, making the world of videogames simply hard to resist. One such game is the well-known DDR, also known as Dance Dance Revolution. This game transports the player into a world of music and dancing. A person does not have to go to a club anymore if they have the sudden urge to dance for DDR is a dance club in itself. The game comes packaged with a dance pad which has four different arrows on it. In DDR the basic concept of the game is to follow the arrows on the screen with your feet, changing your rhythm to the beat of the song you're dancing to.


One can play against the computer or compete against a buddy. The competition never ends! DDR is available for many game systems such as Playstation 2, Windows PC, Xbox 360, Gamecube; a Wii version is also in the works. In addition, this game has become famous among the most hardcore gamers in arcades, making it hard not to get the urge to dance to your heart's delight.

I am a total Guitar Hero freak! Love it!
This game is sssooo sweet. I have Super Nova. AWSOME! : )

I am planing on buying this =]
Nice article! I own DDR, and I'm looking forward to getting Guitar
Hero and a Wii. I've always loved Nintendo games... but the
systems still a little out of my reach (price-wise). Er, I could
do without the karaoke game though, haha. It's bad enough having
friends play "It's Raining Men" drunk, don't need them singing it
too. =)
Great article!
