This healthy video game shuts down if you play for too long.
I've been hearing a fair bit about so-called healthy video games lately, but I have to wonder -- is there such a thing? If you're sat in front of the computer or TV, you're not burning calories or getting active no matter how many healthy things the game might teach you.
But here's a video game with a twist: The Incredible Adventures of the Amazing Food Detective teaches kids about healthy eating a exercise, and here's the catcher: it turns off if you play it for more than 20 minutes, and it won't turn back on again for at least 60 minutes.
I think this is an awesome idea, and something that all kids' video games should do to get kids moving. Of course, it should be the parents' job to make sure their kids are getting active, but I think some parents might be slacking in this regard, so it's nice to see a video game take the initiative. What do you think?
