Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day

The most recent game I rented was Brain Age for the DS. It is a very good game, and I ended up buying it, which you can do through some game rental stores if you want to keep your rented game.

My whole family enjoys the game, and the game allows you to compare scores and results, creating some friendly competition. The “game” is really a compilation of simple reading, counting, and arithmetic, but it somehow makes the game fun. The game uses both voice and writing recognition, and while they both are usually problem free, the game seems to have problems with the word blue, and the writing can have problems if you write numbers certain ways.

Brain Age throws in some Sodoku puzzles for extra brain sharpening, and you end up with quite a good game.
