One to get your brain cells creaking back into gear. On my first attempt, I got a rather scarey 59 as the age of my brain. Whilst I may feel this old some days, I was not impressed. Just a week or so later having practised my mental maths and other things I've not done since school, I managed to knock a whopping 30 years off this age. Far more respectable.

The sudoko section is good fun too as you can re do a puzzle to try and get it done quicker (or simply done correctly!)

I do find the little animated Doctor with his quips and comments rather irritating though.

A good game to just pass the time. I love the number tests best.

I have been given the Nintendo Ds with Brain Training. This is a great little mini computer with a game that is quite addictive. It is ideal to use in quiet moments like waiting for a train etc. At first it told me that my brain age was 80 but now with almost daily practice I have got it down to 20, the lowest level.

Excellent game. Am getting better at my times tables thanks to doing my daily training.

Even the kids enjoy having a go.
