Deepak Chopra is making a game about your chakras

Many different kinds of stars have had video games made about them. Sports stars like Tiger Woods, exercise gurus like Jillian Michaels, and even the Black Eyed Peas have all had video games created around who they are and what they do.

And now Deepak Chopra — controversial spiritualist, alternative-medicine guru and self-help author — is getting in on the video game action too.

And no, he isn't making a first-person shooter.

Chopra has joined forces (both metaphysical and real) with THQ to create the game "Leela" — which means "play" in Sanskrit and is due to launch Nov. 8 on the Xbox 360 and Wii. The game will use the Xbox 360 Kinect motion sensor or, in its Wii version, will have players hold a Wii Remote controller as it guides players through meditation exercises.

According to the Associated Press , which got an advance look at "Leela," it is "less of a game and more of an experience."

Seven different interactive exercises based on the seven "chakras," the points along the body that Chopra says serve as energy centers, task players with moving their bodies to control graphics onscreen set to a soothing soundtrack. The mini-games increase in difficulty, but "Leela" places no importance on a final score or even finishing the exercises.

I'll have to get it just because it is Mr. Chopra. I've read a couple of his books and they have impressed me so much so that they are some of the few books I read more than twice.

Although some Video Games tout a 'Zen' mode (Bejeweled 3) or even come right out and claim they are non-competitive games without goals, timers, or stressors (Thank you Zenses for that big steaming pile...), there are very few games that actually achieve a relaxed gameplay atmosphere.

How was that a valid article? You cobbled together two pictures, someone else's observations, and then proceeded to disrespect the offering without even seeing or experiencing it? You summed it up - Question: why should you even bother? Answer: You shouldn't. If this was a review for a book on Amazon, you'd get flamed for giving one star based on an analysis of the cover and "Look Inside". And, really, you're going to hold Bejeweled 3 up to Deepak Chopra? Really?
