| Brain Age for Nintendo DS Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day for Nintendo DS will help players flex their mental muscles. Brain Age represents the first in a series of U.S. brain-training titles. Brain Age was inspired by the work of Professor Ryuta Kawashima, a Japanese neuroscientist. His studies evaluated the effect of performing reading and mathematic exercises to help stimulate the brain. Brain Age presents players with a series of fun mental brain-training challenges that incorporate word memorization, counting and reading. It even includes sudoku number puzzles. The touch screen of Nintendo DS lets users write their responses, just as though they were using a PDA. Players even turn the Nintendo DS sideways to make it feel more familiar, like a book. The more often users challenge themselves, the better they become at the tasks and the lower their estimated DS 'brain age'. Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is rated E for Everyone and launches on April 17. Big Brain Academy is Rated E for Everyone and launches May 30. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Game News :: home page |
