Daisy Fuentes Pilates For The Wii Review

Slowly, over the course of a few months, I’ve gotten back into the groove of exercising regularly. For the past few months I’ve been doing a mix of Kenpo and the Tony Horton 10 minute trainers. I decided to switch things up and try out the Daisy Fuentes Pilates for the Wii. Before now I had never played any exercising games. My first thought was hey it’s for the Wii so it has to be fun, right? Read on to see if my thoughts were spot on or not.

Daisy Fuentes Pilates by SEGA is a Wii game that is supposed to tone, strengthen, and transform your body through an interactive pilates workout at home. You get to choose from 10 core exercises and 3 skill levels - beginner to advanced. I chose to start off with beginner since I had only done pilates once in my life. Read more

ESRB.org Review: Video Game Ratings For Parents

Most of us have kids that like video games. Really, is there a child left that doesn’t enjoy games? My 6 year old is a video game fanatic along with his Daddy, and they play all sorts of games.

Before renting or buying our son a new game, I thoroughly look at the title and the rating in deciding what is appropriate for our 6 year old. However, I do realize there are some parents out there that are busy or don’t know what the ratings fully mean. This is where ESRB.org comes in. ESRB aims to help parents make informed decisions when buying video games. Along with the ESRB ratings and content descriptions being on the package of every video game, they are also on the website.

If you plan on buying your child a video game this upcoming holiday season, make sure you visit ESRB.org before going out and buying a new video game for your child! Check it out online before you buy! ESRB.org has also been especially helpful to me in finding new age-appropriate games for my son that I may not have otherwise seen in stores!

Happy video game shopping this holiday season…
