Brain Age 2

I bought Mr. D a Nintendo DS for Christmas this year. It was a joint present because I knew that I would get some use out of it too. I bought the game Brain Age 2. It begins with a test to determine the players brain age. There is a series of tests I had to go through...randomly chosen. Long story short my brain age was 80! That didn't make a girl feel very good. So... the point of the game is to improve brain function. The game is set up to give you certain exercises everyday to imporve brain function. I can retake the brainage test daily. I have taken the test again a few times. Only after a few days of training in between. A few of the tests are... Word Scramble (unscrambling words), Piano Player (using the stylus to play the tune of the song given), Memory Sprint (keeping track of a little runner as he goes ahead of people and falls behind and then at the end telling what place he came in) and a few more games. It unlocks more training modes the more daily stamps I get. My brain age began at 80 and went down to 70. Then it went to 52 then back up to 56. I took the brain test today and my brain age (I'm glad to say) is now 38!!! I have to say that I am actually getting better at doing math in my head. Not a skill that I have ever had. I have always been stuck counting the way that I learned in 1st grade. I will expain it to anyone who wants to know. But it has always been a stumbling block for me in learning to memorize the math ploblem and the answer. I feel like my brain is getting quicker and better at memorizing and counting. I really like the game. We also bought Super Mario Brothers... so if I'm feeling really good about myself, I will just go and play that game and realize that I have trouble beating a level without having the little mushroom that makes me super big and I can just slam through the level by mowing everything down that was in my way.

Now don't you all feel enlightened and want to go and buy a Nintendo DS.
