Sight Training (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

What a terrible game. A collection of boring mini games, it follows a similar format to brain training but is not nearly as good.

Nintendo DS Lite Handheld Console (White)

from: Nintendo

June 23, 2006
I've had my NDS Lite for about eight months now and have never regretted buying it. I was initially put off with the bulky original DS, but after seeing an NDS Lite thought I would bite the bullet. I also bought an external see through case/skin and a small hard pouch/case to put the nds lite and its peripherals into it. If your going to spend this much money spend a little more to protect your investment. I'm glad I did - Ive dropped this a couple of times onto the floor some time ago (not recommended!), but the hard crystal case/skin (which i bought separately) appears to have saved it.

The NDS Lite itself is incredibly addictive many games use the touch screen stylus and microphone as well as the buttons. I have since ... Read More:

Nintendo DS Lite Handheld Console (Black)

I've had my NDS Lite for about eight months now and have never regretted buying it. The Black NDS Lite is so cool - I wish the NDS Lites were available in this colour at the time I bought this. I was initially put off with the bulky original DS, but after seeing an NDS Lite thought I would bite the bullet. I also bought an external see through case/skin and a small hard pouch/case to put the nds lite and its peripherals into it.

42 All-Time Classics (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

September 29, 2006
Yup its a touch generation type game that some people don't like, but they can't deny its amazing Nintendo polish. The interface and menus are very VERY well thought out and the games are wide ranging and fun. If you don't like most of these games - don't get it, simple... it isn't meant for you. I do have problems playing chess though as I find it hard to visualise and plan ahead, I'm the type of person that needs the board infront of me, but that may be just how my brain works! Its a perfect pick up and play casual game and the online and multiplayer play is very good too.

Professor Kageyama's Maths Training (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

February 08, 2008
I am a primary school Head Teacher and bought this game with the intention of buying several copies for use in the classroom. I am extremely impressed as it covers many more mental maths strategies than the description suggests. My seven year old son did find it difficult to form some of the numbers correctly, but with a little practise he was getting used to it. A minor grumble is that I think the target times a little too fast for many children, but they are rewarded with Bronze, Silver of Gold medals regardless of their time. I will definitely be trying to budget for the purchase of this game for use by pupils from P3 to P7.

Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

June 09, 2006
I've had this game a few weeks now and have improved a lot.

I have always been rubbish with numbers and this has helped immensely.
My reading hasn't really improved though :( Not that it's that bad...

I'm not sure if the training has rubbed off into the real world yet, but at least I can see improvements by doing the daily training.

It has a good range of daily training tests you can perform and the more days you train mean the more tests you can choose from. Also the better you get it adds a harder level to some of the tests.

I don't use the voice recognition tests anymore as for me it does not recognise when I say black most of the time.

And with the dreaded word memory test it does not recognise ... Read More:

Big Brain Academy (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

July 07, 2006
So many brain games out there to choose from but this one for my family is the best.

Always found Dr Kawashima's Brain Training to be a little dull and plain, that annoying little man in spectacles and only one result (your brain age) for all that work - the games are too simple and black and white.

Big Brain Academy is fun, lots of games at different levels earning medals and then the five areas totalled together to give a school like score - my 8 year old daughter has a C-, I have a C+ and the wife an A+.

This is bright and fun, addictive for all! Buy it!

My Word Coach (Nintendo DS)

from: Ubisoft

November 16, 2007
I bought My Word Coach last December (2007) and played consistently every day with much enthusiasm and determination, until I got stuck at 94% Expression Potential for months. After thinking there was a glitch in the software, I contacted the company manufacturer; Ubisoft, who politely told me that I had to concentrate on getting the words right instead of focusing on getting speedy times.

Ok, so armed with this new information and I continue in the same vein of trying to achieve perfect words (which I had been doing already) coupled with speedy times and it has taken me another 3 months of non-consistent play to get to 98% Expression Potential... I am starting to get a little bored now but I will see it through the 100%

Perhaps I will stop by ... Read More:
