This October Nintendo will release a much needed "follow-up" to their smash hit Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day. Something alot of us need a whole hell of a lot more than some math training. It's called Common Sense for Adults and as Nintendo puts it, it's for "men and women, young and old who still have something to learn".Details are still sketchy, but it's said to contain multiple-choice problem-solving challenges and trivia. Like Brain Age and Big Brain Academy, this game also has a strange way of scoring you. So far we can determine how old and how heavy our brains are, now we can see our chances of "avoiding embarrassment in the future." I'm sure it'll be as scientifically as the other two "Brain" games (i.e. not at all) but whatever the science, each day I use the games I'm doing some math, and that can't be bad for me. What do I think should be included in the questions? 1. Your girlfriend asks, "Do I look fat in these pants?" What do you say? - A. It's alright, I've put on some weight myself
- B. It's nothing a few days at the gym won't fix
- C. say nothing. say absolutely nothing
2. You stop at a drive-thru for a morning cup of coffee, do you put the scaldng hot coffee: - A. balanced on the dashboard
- B. between your legs
- C. in a cup-holder
3. Your 8 year old son wants you to buy him Grand Theft Auto, do you: - A. buy it, to prove you love him, and let him play all by himself
- B. ignore parenting duties and just take your kids word for it
- C. tell him he's to young (you know, be his parent)
If Common Sense for Adults is anywhere near as fun as Brain Age and Big Brain Academy I'll be first in line to pick it up in October.
