Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain?

The first game that I have chose to post is Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain?. I own the game and I really enjoy it. There are many different training exercises. There is sudoku, syllable count (which you have to count the syllables in a sentence in the quickest time), reading aloud, stroop test (say the name of the colour the words are in), word memory, speed counting (counting 120 out loud as fast as you can, but not sluring the words together), connect maze (draw a line from the letter of the alphabet to the number), calculation, head count (count as many people who enter and left the house), triangle maths (solving the math problems in a certain way. This exercise I don't understand) and low to high (you have to remember where the numbers were before and touch on the lowest number to the highest number. The Brain Training is really fun, and its really funny when you compare your brain age to other people's brain age. So if you buy this game, I hope you'll enjoy it.
