WALK WITH ME! GAME & CADGETS.

Byline: KEVIN LYNCH

WALK WITH ME!

**DS, pounds 49.99

Not so much a game as a digital exercise journal, Walk With Me! and its microchippowered pedometer pe·dom·e·ter  
n.
An instrument that gauges the approximate distance traveled on foot by registering the number of steps taken.


pedometer
Noun
 aims to encourage couch potatoes to take a well-needed stroll. Synching up with your DS's internal clock, the pedometer tracks your activity on a given day and uploads it to the cartridge for you to dissect.

While the presentation is simple, the lack of any real gaming element makes Walk With Me! feel like number crunching Refers to computers running mathematical, scientific or CAD applications, which perform large amounts of calculations. See number cruncher.

(application, jargon) number crunching
 on a treadmill rather than an entertaining diversion. Not an essential purchase, it's more an unnecessary and expensive accessory.
