Most of the folks I know are in the middle of this seasons The Biggest Loser series.  I am not a big fan, honestly, Jillian Michaels scare the C**P out of me!  I think she may actually have been a drill instructor in a prior life.  If you are interested in the show though why not take advantage of the game opportunities to lose some inches with the contestant?  There are two versions of the newest version of the game Biggest Loser Challenge, one for Wii and one for the Xbox Connect.

If you just want the game for Wii the lowest price was with Amazon for $27.99, because you would be over $25.00 you qualify for the free shipping.  If you would like to order the full bundle package with the game, Wii Fit Plus & Balance Board, Stability Ball and air pump and the Biggest Loser Pocket Cookbook that is also the lowest price at Amazon for $139.99

If you would like to work out with Jillian or Bob on your Xbox 360 then you need to look at the Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout your can find just the game at Amazon for $45.54, or if you have the 360 Kinect hooked up to your system there is the bundle which includes the Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout Video Game for XBOX 360 KINECT, Stability ball with pump, the Biggest Loser pocket journal/recipe book plus a FREE Biggest Loser Workout Music download.  This was available from Amazon for $49.99.

I hope you are all having a fun weekend!

Did your New Year resolution involve getting in shape?  February 1 marks the release date for Rock Band Country Track Pack 2.  It is standalone software that lets you play the guitar, bass, drums or vocals on 21Country hits.  It can be played either as a single player or with friends, either working together or competing.  If you own any of the other Rock Band games you can merge your songs all together for a larger song list.  Country Track Pack 2 works with all the Rock Band games and most other Music game controllers.

Buy.com has the lowest price on the PlayStation 3, XBOX 360, and Wii versions, only $28.99 with free shipping and no tax.  Buy.com has also launched a new rewards loyalty program where you can earn Rakuten Super Points, which for someone like me is exciting news in itself.  The program seems to be similar to the Best Buy Reward Zone program with points redeemable for certificates good at the store.  That means that when I shop through Quick Rewards I will get 2.10% cash back from them, use my credit card earns reward points I will get those AND now I get the reward points from Buy.com.  I love triple dipping!

I hope you are all having a great weekend!

I have quite a few friends who's special indulgence is watching the Bachelor and the Bachelorette so imagine my surprise when I saw an ad during MY special indulgence of Top Chef for the new wii game of The Bachelor! I know it was something I just had to pass on for them, so here is the low down from the folks in the know at All Game Guide:

The Bachelor: The Video game is an interactive home version of the reality TV dating game show. Following the television format, the game is hosted by a virtual Chris Harrison, and features contestants from the real-life ABC network series. In the role of a single young woman seeking a husband, players interact with the game's featured bachelor, both on "group dates" and in one-on-one situations. Players take personality tests to generate a dating profile and gauge their compatibility with the bachelor. They can choose to sabotage the efforts of other contestants in order to get ahead in the competition. The goal is to receive a rose at the end of each chapter, so to be allowed to continue to the final episodes' hometown and family visits, and ultimately to be the one contestant the bachelor chooses for a long-term relationship at the end of the season. The game also features a gender-reversed version that follows the format of The Bachelorette spin-off series, with multiple male contestants vying to be the final choice of a desirable, single young woman. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

The game has everything a Bachelor fan could want:

• Chris Harrison is your host in the game and will take you through the single player mode that is structured like the TV show
  
• Compete against your "frenemies" in multi player mode
  
• Sabotage your opponent's dates to prevent them from receiving a rose?or they may sabotage yours!
  
• Features real-life The Bachelor and The Bachelorette contestants
  
• Take personality tests and view your dating profile and compatibility results

The lowest price I was able to find for the wii game was $29.99 at Amazon, they have free shipping on orders over $25.00 so this qualifies with no additional purchase. There is also a version of the game available for Nintendo DS that also sells at Amazon for $29.99.

Now if they would just make a Top Chef game for me, oh well I am patient.

I hope you all are having a nice relaxing weekend!
