Time for another crossword game for the puzzlefreaks among us. The [tag]New York Times Crosswords[/tag] for the [tag]Nintendo DS[/tag] contains over 1000 puzzles featuring a WiFi multiplayer mode for up to two players. The game is already out here in the United States, but it isn’t available in Europe yet. European gamers won’t be familiar with these New York Times crosswords taken out of three years of the NYT archive, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t train your brain!

We’ve had a lot of WiiFit feet-on impressions and previews during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), and now that the Leipzig Games Convention is taking place in Europe lots of European videogamesites got on the Wii Balance Board for the first time. The game experts at EuroGamer took the challenge and got on Nintendo’s Wii Balance Board for the first time.

They say that [tag]Wii Sports[/tag] was a huge hit thanks to the important social aspect of the game, while the [tag]Brain Training[/tag] games for the Nintendo DS are incredibly popular thanks to the fact that learning is fun now. They have experienced that [tag]Wii Fit[/tag] combines the best of those two games which will make WiiFit succeed in its goal. WiiFit isn’t rubbish, it really allows you to lose weight along with friends and family. Whether you’re a gamer or not, WiiFit will make you lose weight while you’re having the time of your life. The cool interactive games will keep you on the board until you’ve lost the amount of weight you want.

During the Leipzig Games Convention, gamepublisher Konami has announced that it’s preparing the game Let’s Yoga for an American release. At first everyone thought that this would be a Japan-only game, but apparantely Konami must have discovered that the United States needs some Yoga exercises as well. It looks al very simple and the diversity of exercises in the game looks very good. Now you won’t have to be in your Yoga club to do some healthy exercises, you’ll be able to lose some stress on the road as well!

Gamejournalists really loved the Wii Fit demo. Though they would like to see more hardcore [tag]Nintendo[/tag] games they see a future in the Wii Balance Board and the Wii Fitness game.
