In EyeToy: Groove, players bop to the likes of Madonna and Fatboy Slim, and a calorie counter shows how much of that Big Mac you have burned up--a nod to parents concerned that too much sedentary screen time is making their kids fat. Plug 'n' play games--cheap cartridges that plug directly into the TV--are also expected to do well this season, thanks to a revival of classics like old Atari titles and tie-ins to popular characters like SpongeBob SquarePants...
