$20 Game Of The Week: Brain Age

by William Talley, filed in $20 Game Of The Week on May.29, 2006

Sorry I’m late this week, but I was caught up in the holiday. I haven’t included many products strictly for Nintendo systems, so here goes one. This game isn’t a game in the traditional sense. It’s one of those products that takes advantage of the DS’s capabilities to provide something for casual gamers to get into.

Just like your muscles, your brain has to be trained each day. Nintendo co-opted a famous Japanese neurologist to design several puzzles aimed at training your brain. These tasks range from reading out loud to simple math calculations, each designed to get certain areas of your brain working. Also included are 100 puzzles in Sudoku, a simple numerical game that’s recently swept the world, appearing in many newspapers alongside the crossword puzzle. This is quickly becoming my new obsession.

I cheat at brain age. during the word memory test, i write all the words down on a sheet of paper and then copy them back as fast as I can.

I stopped as soon as I got a brain age lower than my actual age.

What’s the point of that? You’re supposed to be trying to better yourself.

I sort of cheat too, by using a method that, admittedly, you’re told how to do during the tips portions where you can choose the three tests you want to take — I just choose the three I’m good at.

Hey, I was smart enough to figure how to cheat, that has to count for something!

I kept seeing “Big Brain Academy” at the store and thinking it’s an opportunistic knock-off like all the puppy simulators, but I just found out it’s another FIRST-PARTY brain training game from Nintendo. I fail to see the necessity for that, but on the other hand, these are highly inexpensive games to program.

Not only that, but Nintendo is releasing an all-Sudoku game. It blows me away that people are so into Sudoku. Whenever I see society stop and think, I am confounded.

I’m sure the big brain one is geared towards kids. Don’t sleep on that sudoku, that shit is hella addictive.

Yeah, there are already two brain training games in Japan — one for kids and one for adults — that they can’t seem to keep stocked because they are so popular. It just means that the US has finally caught up.
