Brain Age (and Brain Age 2): It was 5 minutes of drunken Brain Age at Butter in San Francisco that convinced me to buy a DS. I was excited because after years of sucking at video games, here was a game I could be good at! Doing simple math problems as fast as possible! Brilliant! I played Brain Age for a long time until I got bored of the games. Some of them frustrated me (memorizing lists of words) and some just got too easy (3 people leave the house, 2 people go in the house, 5 people up the chimney, etc.). So when Brain Age 2 came out, I thought “here’s the game I love, but with new variety!” Well, I played it for about a week, and it has been left unplayed ever since. I can’t bring myself to sell it because I know I am supposed to like it, but I just don’t care for it anymore.
