EA Sports has announced that they’re developing an up date for EA Sports Active (listed as “the number one rated fitness program for the Wii”). Initially known as EA Sports Active 2.0, the new program will feature a wireless control system that will have you strapping motion sensors to your arms and legs and a heart rate monitor to measure intensity (it should also help the program tell if you’re still alive).

CyberPower announces Nvidia-Street Fighter IV bundle
Saturday, July 25th, 2009
CyberPower is celebrating the release of the “highly anticipated fighting game”, Street Fighter IV for the PC platform. (It’s a bit of a stretch, since we’ve yet to run into a PC-gaming enthusiast talking about Street Fighter IV, but anyway…) According to the promo, the company will be throwing in a free copy of the fighting game to buyers who pick up any CyberPower gaming system equipped with an Nvidia 200-series graphics card.
The game itself has been launched for the first time on the PC platform earlier this month (but released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 way back in February), which explains the hype. Capcom’s famous fight franchise has been previously available only on arcade machines, consoles, and handhelds before this.
