Ice, Ice, Baby

A self-proclaimed New England girl at heart, I’ve always loved the beautiful snow and icy temps associated with winter. My favorite part? Ice skating.

I used to jump, spin and skate on the local pond every weekend just for fun. But now I live a little farther south so my ice skating is limited to spontaneous trips to the local rink with friends during the winter. I miss it, I’ll admit. So it makes sense that I was instantly drawn to Diva Girls: Divas on Ice video game, available for Nintendo Wii and DS. And as the summer is finally simmering down, you, too, can get pumped for winter—and the upcoming 2010 winter Olympics.
 
Step into the shoes of professional athletes in this fun and interactive game. You choose a persona (4 girls to choose from--I picked Madeleine!) and go through the entire process of selecting your outfits, skating on ice and competing. As you earn points, you can purchase more items from the store, all with the ultimate goal of winning and being named “Princess of the Miracle Ice Festival.” As you learn the rules of the game (on and off the ice!) you can boost the difficulty level and your points while impressing the judges and the crowd.

This new game, if played on the Wii, incorporates the Wii balance board, allowing you to actually get movin’ while playing! Keep skatin’ in 3-D through the 14 different arenas as you continue your challenges. I recommend this title if you’re looking for a new game that’s healthy and fun. It’s the perf way to take a break from homework and just relax.

If winter isn’t your thing, then this game let’s you get all the glitz and glam of ice skating competitions without those freezing temps! Feeling inspired? Strap on your real skates and hit the rink to try out some of these moves!
