Brain Age

brain-age.jpgBoring after a while
I found this “game” challenging for the first day and then got completely bored with it. You unlock all of the “training” activities after you’ve entered the training zone 16 times… so there’s no real mystery as to what’s in store day after day. I find the doctor a little annoying at times and wish he would stop saying the same things over and over again. I play soduku a lot and that’s been more fun than anything else. After you reach the goal of the 20 year old brain - there’s no more challenge to go after.

Great training, expect major improvement in memory, etc
It’s a little scary when you first find your brain age, but also motivating. There is a guide who talks to you and explains each training excercise well. Then he comments on your progress and gets a little silly. The farther you go in training the more programs he adds. Each one works you in a different way, and I love it. Also, the training programs are still GAMES, just good for you! I love feeling like I’m doing something GOOD for my brain, and boy, I need it! So if you feel that way too, just get it and see for yourself. Well done, great program. I want everyone I know to use it!

Very Fun
This game is great! I have to say it’s a bit of a novelty to me now as I have played it less and less (although I really should just play it a little bit everyday). When I was playing it steady, I did notice that I was more focused. They definitely aren’t kidding that it trains your mind, but in a fun, and if you show it to family members, COMPETITIVE way. I actually showed it to my Grandmother and she loved it, because she said it keeps her mind going. It got me thinking that this is a great way for seniors to keep their minds active. My grandmother doesn’t really do much to keep herself busy and she often gets bored. I need to get her a DS and this game. For $20, this game is totally worth the purchase. Go for it.

Nintendo DS Lite Onyx Black

I bought this for my wife this past Christmas. I was a little worried about the purchase as she has never played video games. No Atari, no Nintendo, and definitely nothing like the newer gaming consoles. I felt I even had to follow this gift with a nice pair of earrings just in case it didn’t go over well.

When she opened it she was certainly surprised that I would giver her something like this and I believe in the back of her mind she thought it might be more for me. I can understand that as I was intrigued by it as well. I did have the itch to play it. I of course did buy Mario Bros. to relive my old school Nintendo days.

I also bought Brain Age and Sims Castaway for her just to start. After things settled down in the morning and the kids were taking naps she decided to try Sims Castaway. It was extremely easy to set up and navigate the system itself. About an hour goes by and she hasn’t looked up. I even tried to talk to her thinking she was listening to me…not a chance. She didn’t hear a word. She got pulled into this system fast and if you were to meet my wife you would have thought she would be one of the last people to get addicted to a gaming system.

Hands down this was an all time great gift. She still plays it everyday and the optional gaming list is long enough to keep her entertained for awhile.
