Hey there, folks! Welcome once again to another edition of Beyond Co-Op, where Co-Optimus looks "beyond the co-op aspect" and brings you some gaming news that doesn't always revolve around cooperative play. For this week’s take, we have a couple of interesting stories on the gaming industry and how their choices affect us as players, consumers, and even developers!
Last year we posted a review for EA Sports Active: Personal Trainer, a Nintendo Wii fitness title that worked surprisingly well and had some mediocre co-op tacked on. It's not a bad game, really - it just snazzes up the activities that we generally either avoid...or pay good money for better effectiveness.
We get the feeling that we're going to see more and more EA Sports titles supporting co-op. Setting the bar with a semi-cooperative online mode, NHL 2009 breathed new life into the game lineup for sports fans. EA Sports Active: Personal Trainer seeks to raise that bar in a new way. Read on to see what we thought of the premiere game in EA Sports' new Active brand.
