Now that everyone and their brother either owns or desperately wants to own the Nintendo Wii Fit, there are sure to be an influx of games ready to compete against the fitness fun model.

Conspiracy Entertainment Corporation announced that "Summer Athletics The Ultimate Challenge" for the Nintendo Wii is set to "sprint" into stores in early August. The suggested retail price of $29.99 USD will make "Summer Athletics" the perfect game for families and casual gamers.

I remember the Track and Field game for the original old school Nintendo and I loved it. My brother and I spent many hours playing to win the gold. I can only imagine what it will be like to play this on the Wii. I mean the screenshots of the game alone have me drooling!

"Summer Athletics" features 25 sports such as sprinting, archery, javelin, hammer throw and swimming. A custom character editor, lifelike graphics and realistic animations will immerse players in the game's diverse and challenging events.

I am also excited and anticipating the release of "Active Life: Outdoor Challenge" on the Wii. The game it will have available on it include: Mole Stomper, Kayak Attack, Pipe Slider, Mine Cart Adventure, Lake-top Trampoline, Stone Stepper, Head-on Hurdler, Log Leaper, Conveyer Runner, Seesaw Battler, Waterfall Climber and more.

It is a little bit more expensive as it requires a bigger mat to play on, but it looks so much fun!

I am thrilled that video games are becoming more interactive and promoting fitness!

    Since a Nintendo Wii is so hard to get when you see the chance to get one you all but throw yourself at it. Trust me, I know, but we finally got one for Christmas from my family. It is such a great family console system, it gets everyone involved which makes it wonderful.

    Anyway, Charter High Speed Internet is giving one away. It's this site where you actually bid on how much you would pay for high speed internet. The starting bid has to be at least $10. Not only does registering with them put you in the pool to win the Wii but it also puts you in a pool to win high speed internet service FOR LIFE.

    These are the things communication companies need to do to get customers since there are big monopolies out there sucking the life out of the smaller guys. Charter Communications, Inc., the third-largest publicly traded cable operator in the U.S., serves approximately 5.7 million customers in 29 states. You'd think being the 3rd in line would be good, but unfortunately in this realm of business, that being media and communications, third is rough. But that is good for us, because look, they came up with the idea of bidding your own price for their service. That's awesome, I don't know how they'll be able to keep track of it or how they can even do that, but it's a cool idea.
