The latest addition to my DS games family, Movietyme delivered me a copy of Brain Age today (called Brain Training in the UK). The idea behind Brain Age is a set of daily training tasks for your brain, which might involve mathematical, reading, perception, and reading skills to help stimulate the brain.

It doesn’t sound like your average game, but some clever marketing and people’s desire for a quick fix to being smart have already made the game a top seller in a huge number of markets, worldwide.

And so far, it’s been great fun I’ve learnt the secrets of Sodoku and become quietly addicted, and got myself a highly respectable brain age score. I’ll find a place on my sidebar to update my brain age on the blog every now and then. Hopefully I can top my current score of .. 73. Yep, that’s right, I have the brain of a 73 year old. Old and wise. Actually, it doesn’t quite work that way as it’s the lower the better - it’s demonstrating that there’re dead brain cells beyond my years.
Hopefully the next few weeks will improve… Especially if I write clearly enough so that Brain Age can recognise my chicken scratch handwriting
