If you’ve ever played on the Nintendo DS the chances are that you’ve played on one of the various brain training games and if you have children, there is a distinct possibility that not only have they beaten you, but that they’ve also laughed at the fact you have the brain age of a sixty year old, (unless you are 60 in which case you’re excused!) The concept and execution of these games was not only sophisticated and beneficial, but also highly entertaining and addictive and for a long time there hasn’t been anything that even comes close…..until now.
