Upcoming games that will be awesome

This summer features the release of some pretty awesome games, for both the casual and the hardcore gamer.

For Wii owners who also have WiiFit, and have been looking for a more hardcore workout, then EA Sports Active is the game for you. The fitness game feels like a personal trainer and comes with resistance bands and a leg strap for the nunchuck. The balance board can also be used for this game. From the feedback I've heard about WiiFit, it's not quite the workout people thought it would be. EA Sports Active looks ready to fill the spot of hardcore workout game for the Wii. The game releases May 19. Check out the EA Sports Active home Web site for more information.

For the hardcore gamer or Batman fan, Batman: Arkham Asylum releases June 23, and looks to be amazing. The visual look of the game is very dark, which is appropriate for the setting. The game is based inside Arkham Asylum, and Batman must fight his way through many of the villains he helped put there to get to the Joker. There is a complete site set up for the game that shows the visual look and action, as well as going through the storyline. The site also offers trailers for the game. XBox 360 and PS3 owners can most likely download a playable demo for the game now.
