Can video games actually make you smarter? Nintendo’s BRAIN AGE: TRAIN YOUR BRAIN IN MINUTES A DAY for the Nintendo DS says yes. The game contains a number of different logic puzzles, memorization puzzles, and math problems all designed to increase player’s ability to use the knowledge they know. The puzzles have been designed by scientists to specifically make use of the prefrontal cortex, the section of the brain that controls how people apply the knowledge they have. By playing the game daily and performing the same type of math and memorization exercises, the game can help players hone their thinking abilities. The game has a large variety of different puzzles and games to sharpen players’ abilities. There are the basic math and reading tests, a multiplayer mode where players race to see who can perform calculations the fastest, and a number of sudoku puzzles for fans of the Japanese number game. BRAIN AGE: TRAIN YOUR BRAIN IN MINUTES A DAY also makes good use of the touch screen and the other unique DS functions. Gamers control the game completely by touch screen and also hold the DS sideways, an interesting addition that makes playing BRAIN AGE different from other games. While the theory behind using the game’s puzzles to increase players’ intelligence may not be completely backed up scientifically, the game is still fun to play and a great way for gamers to sharpen their math and memorization skills.
