Get your brain in shape with Gamelofts Brain Challenge.
The latest fad in video games seems to be the 'train your brain' genre with umpteen titles popping up on all formats. Gameloft brings us the first such title on the Xbox360 via Xbox Live Arcade.
Brain Challenge tests the players thinking in five different ways Logic, Math, Memory,Visual and Focus. Each category contains four different minigame types, although players will start off with only one in each. Other games are unlocked by playing and bettering your record in the game's Daily Tests.
You can play the individual games as part of your daily brain training before or after you take the daily test which will in theory monitor your brain fitness or in this case the percentage of your brain you are using.
Also as well as the daily brain test there is a daily stress test you can take. This mode requires you to solve problems as quick as you can while attempting to distract you with things such as the screen will blur or various bugs will fly around the screen or even ask you more than one question at a time. This is meant to teach the player to perform better under pressure helping your brain to multitask.
Brain Challenge also has a online multiplayer mode where players are dealt out 10 cards each each representing a puzzle section, you select one of you own cards and solve the puzzle losing the card if you are correct but adding another card if you are wrong first to lose all cards wins.
