If you like using your DS not only for entertainment, but as a means of bettering yourself, then today (January 12, 2009) is a good day to stop by Amazon. The Deal of the Day is a massive sale on all of the Ubisoft My Coach DS games. So if you want to learn a new language, change yourself or just become a bit more knowledgeable, you can now do it for a little cheaper.

Most of the games are either $7.01 or $10.01 off the normal price. For example, My French Coach and My Word Coach are both $12.98. My Chinese Coach, My Fun Facts Coach, My Japanese Coach, My SAT Coach with The Princeton Review, My Spanish Coach, My Stop Smoking Coach with Allen Carr and My Weight Loss Coach are all $19.98. Not all of the games are in stock though…

Title: My Weight Loss CoachPrice: $39.99System: DSPublisher (Developer): Ubisoft (Ubisoft Montreal)ESRB Rating: Everyone (use of alcohol and tobacco)Pros: Friendly and encouraging, offers good advice, decent variety of activities and challengesCons: Pedometer is basically useless, doesn’t accept diet details, more about weight management than actual weight lossOverall Score: Two thumbs sideways, 72/100, C-, 2 out of 5

My Weight Loss Coach from Ubisoft is not a weight loss coach, it’s a weight management coach. It’s a good habits coach.

It does a decent job of reminding you of the exercise and nutrition lessons you were taught back in school and it challenges to actually put the lessons into effect. But if you buy this game hoping it’ll help you quickly shed 10 pounds, you’re going to be sorely disappointed.
