So you’re a fat slob with a wicked Halo addiction and the will power of a drunken Homer Simpson, but you want to turn that beer gut into a six-pack without letting down Master Chief (or, let’s face it, the fate of the free universe).
Enter the the Gamercize CZ Sport (who comes up with these names, Czechoslovakians?), which attaches to your PlayStation 2, bypassing your controller. Basically, if you want your game to work, you have to work as well: The pedal attachment (or stepper — your choice) recognizes when you’re working out, and knows when you’re slacking. If you’re working hard enough, your controller remains connected to the console; stop, and your session is interrupted like a phone call from your boss during sex. So it’s like half as much fun as it should be, but a thousand times more healthful!
It’s not exactly cutting-edge (i.e. being able to control your character’s movement by you legs’ movement on the device), but it may just help you shed those extra pounds before the dead of winter. You want to look good in your puffy jacket, after all.
