Have you noticed the recent popularity of the game Sudoku? Well as with most cool things, it originally comes from Asia. And essentially, it is a brain training game that has caught fire with corporate America. A game on Nintendo DS has recently come out called Brain Age, and along with Sudoku, features dozens of other brain training exercises.
The training methods have even been reported to help fight Alzheimer’s and memory loss due to age. I’m not sure about all that, but the exercises are pretty fun nonetheless. The game is actually structured like a gym workout. You play it for a couple of minutes per day and a coach tracks your performance. Before your training begins, the coach does a brain analysis on you to see where you stand. As you can see, I ain’t doing so hot. But knowing is half the battle damnit!
