Obesity and Diabetes have been Normal around us, In U.A.E. 25% are Diagnosed with Diabetes and 33.7& are diagnosed with Obesity. Now this is happening due to Current Generation’s Lifestyle, Where Video Games are most likely to be Blamed for Obesity and Diabetes in Teenagers.

Video Games are blamed most likely because everyone loves playing it on couch front of their Television for hours and hours, but Video Games have created vast spaces in our Lifestyle..Video Games shape your mind by strengthening Decision Time and fastens your Fingers. but few Games such as Kinect Enabled, PS Move Enabled or Wii Motion Games increases your Physical Activity which burns Calories, shapes your Body as well as Rejuvenate your Mind also this can help fight Diabetes as long as you are on foot but not on Couch.

Video Game Console Companies like Sony,Microsoft and Nintendo have made Kinect,Move like Peripherals that Provide Lot of physical Gaming Which includes Football,Tennis,Shooting,Racing or Dancing. World of technology and Gaming is Continuously Developing with more Authenticity of Real World.

My Picks for Best Motion Gaming Experience are :

1)Zumba Fitness
2)Killzone 3
3)Heavy rain
4)Time Crisis 4
5)Mel B

For Xbox Kinect

1)The Biggest Loser: Ultimate Workout
2)Dance Central 2

Wii has Slow and Compromised Quality of Gameplay and Motion Gaming Entertainment i would say the only game that is liable with Wii is Wii Sports. though seeing Wii U starts that small spark of Hope which maybe the best Motion Gaming Console of 2013, but still helps burn calories.
