IGN: Brain Training For Dummies

IGN has given me a lot of brain-training type games to review lately. It started with FutureU: The Prep Game for SAT, and now I have a copy of Brain Training for Dummies sitting at my desk. Perhaps the IGN higher-ups are indirectly telling me that I need some educational help… So, if you’re still reading this, you might be wondering if the dang thing actually works. I’m here to tell you that, "I are smarter now."

…Ok, so maybe the game doesn’t actually teach you stuff, but it does a pretty decent job of sharpening the mental skill sets that you already have. After Brain Training tells you how human minds can actually benefit from its training in its introductory section, you’ll encounter 15 different types of timed, multiple-choice, mini-games, each with 25 levels of scaling difficulty.
