I received Brain Age this Christmas and felt mildly enthusiastic. I mean, how fun can "educational games" be? I found out the the answer is: very fun!

Brain Age is delightfully interactive, using the touch screen/ stylus and the microphone in creative ways. The presentation of the games makes you want to play it every day (which "doctor" recommends). My favorite part is the Sudoku. I would reccomend first letting the game alert you when you enter a wrong answer, until you become good this way. Then, you should advance to figuring out the wrong answers yourself! It's a fun puzzle that really works the brain.

One thing that disappointed me was how easy it was to quickly advance into unlocking mini-games and bringing down your age. I find it almost irritatingly easy. I wish that the difficulty was more.
Pro : Fun games, great graphics..."doctor" is hilarious...
Con : Small amount of games, too easy

I got this game for my daughter because she was relentless in asking for it. She used it with her Nintendo DS and I enjoyed playing some of the games on it, but I never actually attempted to lower my Brain Age and keep track of my scores. When she got a Nintendo DS Lite, I took over her DS and started playing the Brain Age game. I loved it from the start! It gets my blood flowing cause I am trying to do the 100 math problems as fast as possible, or trying to draw "The Thinker" from memory, or trying to remember as many words as possible in 2 minutes. It's addictive! I have taken my Brain Age from 89 (ugh) to 37 (woo hoo!). It also has Sudoku, which I had never done before, and I am digging that too. Great game, especially for the bargain price of $19.99 (new). Highly recommended for young and old alike.
Pro : All of the quizzes are fun and really make you think.
Con : I hate the head count game! Grrr.......

i can tell u the perfect source of brain food…..Chess…you really have to think about it for a second…i discovered it back in high school(the theory i mean) but have been playing since fourth grade…u see…once u play and become good at it..you notice that u treasure every move that u make…every piece has a soul…and it hurts to lose even the weakest piece… but u also notice that u pick up a new talent while u get better at the game…the ability to predict ever possible outcome…so that even when something has to go bad…and i meant when things have to go bad…and u have to lose a piece…u r already prepared for the next move without having to worry your self on "now what do i do"…that stress is taken away…cause u are well prepared…and it seems like this same sense of the game carries over to real life situations….i don't want to bore u to death…but i just wanted to share with you that little bit of info

Read, read, read! It's the best way to keep the mind stimulated and alert. Crossword puzzles are also a good source of stimulation. Have you tried Soduko? Pop quizzes are great too.
Music is also helpful, depending on what you listen to. Last, but not least…….good conversation.

Comment on how lnog would you have to eat oily fish for regularly to see an improvement in brain fucntion? by Caleb F

Caleb F — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 07:27:59 +0000

To bad it wont help with the spelling lol. Oily fish twice a week is about the norm. But to improve brain function is much more than that. Get brain training and see how you do. It has greatly improved a lot of peoples minds.

Brain Age is just what the doctor could order for increasing and unlocking anyone's brain potential.
Through simple exercises such as math equations, reading aloud, perception games,,this game offers the player a chance to not only flex their brain IQ but make it stronger. The game utilizes they DS stylus and microphone in a seamless fun experience. Doing math and word problems doesn't sound like fun,,but yet somehow this game makes not only enjoyable but addictive. The first time I heard about a game called Katamari Damacy, I remember thinking 'so what , you roll a big ball around and pick up stuff,,how fun could that be?' And then I played it and somehow it was the most fun I had had on a game system in a long while. The fun factor of Brain Age is the same way. I only wish there were more mini games to "train" my brain on.
Pro : once you start, you can't stop, surprisingly addictive
Con : handwriting recognition could be better, more mini games
