IGN writes: "If there was an abundance of DSiWare games on the market, then sure, I'd be all for porting older titles onto the service. But the fact is that this is one of the only games to come out this month in a catalog that is pretty weak so far. Granted, that's more of a complaint about the service, and doesn't affect the quality of the product. Still, why couldn't this have been Brain Challenge 2? If you've never ever played the game, then it's actually a pretty decent brain game, though when compared to the recently released DSiWare Brain Age, it's hard to recommend this over that".
If you've ever tried one of the many popular brain-training games on the Ds, you might understand my frustration. There are quite a few titles out there that claim to "train your brain" in just "minutes a day." Brain Age, Brain Boost, Brain Assist, Brain Challenge-the only requirement seems to be inserting the word "brain" into the title in order to instantly boost intelligence. Amy Nelson at Goozer Nation recently picked up Big Brain Academy from my kids' bottomless stash of Ds games (thanks Gramma)and thought, "Oh, I'll give this a try. Show the kids how it's done."
This week, Cyril looks at a few retro titles for the Wii and DS. Some that he checks out this week are Pulseman, Secret Command, and Brain Challenge in Haiku style.
Featured in this week's new PlayStation Store update was a surprise summer sale on a select few PSN titles that are all going for 50% off their original price. But which titles are worth buying over the other? Sure with them all being 50% off we should pick them all up. In today's economy though, limiting purchases, especially on luxuries like video games and digital content, has become key. So which title do we recommend all PSN users pickup from this sale if they didn't already at it's full price?
And which titles do we not recommend as much, even at a discount? One certain publisher may not be so happy of what we have to say.
Find out what titles they are, their prices, and our recommendations after the jump!
I didn't know that there's a sale going on. maybe I'll treat myself for some Wipeout!
BUY ALL OF THESE GAMES!
I still haven't purchased EDEN yet. I think it's time I change that...
