That one we are living in this period is a terrible moment for everyone, with the coronavirus that keeps us all in maximum alert, confined in our houses. In this situation of emergency, we all are looking for some activities to ease the climate, by loosening tension and by distracting ourselves, spending time watching lots of tv series and more on the various streaming networks, rediscovering table games, reading or listening albums we have in the queue. However, today I suggest to you an alternative solution to kill the dead moments and the boredom. Sit down on your sofa and, if you have an old Nintendo Wii which is gathering dust or you maybe jealously guard a PlayStation 2 until you can expose it on a shelf in your bedroom as a piece of antique, this is the proper moment to retake them out: here are six sporty videogames to play staying at home. There are for all the tastes and, clearly, for all the consoles.
