Advantages: Very competitive, challenging, improves your brain size! Disadvantages: Addictive
BigBrain Academy
My sister had asked for this game for Christmas because she has a DS and I couldn't wait to give it a go myself. I like games that test your intelligence and give you ways to improve your brain skills - which is exactly what BigBrain Academy does. It doesn't question you on general knowledge like who wants to be a millionaire or the weakest link, instead it trains you in five different categories which are think, memorize, analyze, identify and compute.
When you switch the game on you enter the "homeroom" which is a list of all the players that you have made files for. Creating a new player is very simple and all you have to do is click register and type in a name, but there is a maximum amount of four players allowed. Next to the names there is a grade that you have achieved in the test so that you know ...
Advantages: Enjoyable, addictive Disadvantages: Not one for the more hardcore gamer
BigBrain Academy is the second title in Nintendo's brain game series. You can test your brain power in five different categories: thinking, memorization, computation, analysis, and identification.
Some of the games included are comparing stacks of coins to find the higher value and quickly counting a huge stack of books. Each exercise takes less than a minute to complete so it's the sort of game you can pick up and play if you have a few minutes to kill. After you take the quiz, you'll get the weight of your brain, your best areas and the areas you need to work on.
Overall the games are good because they don't only rely on mathematics but require a variety of skills and an all round intelligence is required to gain a good overall score. These sorts of games have come under fire a bit recently as being for casual gamers, but as ...
Advantages: Simple, colourful, amusing Disadvantages: Not much to it
Following successful games such as Brain Training and BigBrain Academy on the DS, Nintendo obviously realised they were onto a winner with their claims of games that can actually help to improve memory and knowledge. Therefore here's a review of BigBrain Academy, Nintendo's first attempt at brain training/memory games on the motion sensing Wii.
BigBrain Academy is an extremely simple game. There's not exactly very much to it and you could easily complete all that the game has to offer within a few minutes. However, the theory behind the game does not involve simply try and completeing the game as fast as possible, but more about continuing to play the games over and overa again in order to try and acheive a higher score.
The main areas of the game are Test and Practice. The Test is quite simple. You take a five part test ...

Album Notes
Full performer name: Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains. Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains: Les Claypool (vocals, bass guitar); Buckethead (guitar); Brain (drums); Bernie Worrell. Recording information: Rancho Relaxo Studio, California (2003). Even hardcore Primus fans often wondered what vocalist/virtuoso bassist Les Claypool would sound like outside the confines of that band. Claypool first answered the question with all-star band Oysterhead, and then with this album, which pairs him with enigmatic guitarist Buckethead, P-Funk keyboardist Bernie Worrell, and former Primus drummer Brain. (These three have also been involved in the avant-garde supergroup Praxis.) Of course, with musicians of this diversity and caliber, THE BIG EYEBALL IN THE SKY draws liberally from funk, speed metal, jazz fusion, hip-hop, dance, reggae, and punk without regard for boundaries or categories. Surprisingly, considering that Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains began as an impromptu jam session at the Bonnaroo festival, the disc is one of the more accessible and hooky efforts in Claypool's vast catalog. Sure, the lyrics of "Tyranny of the Hunt," are perversely weird, and "Elephant Ghost" sounds like a dub version of some forgotten 1970s porn soundtrack, but the music never ceases to be intriguing, showcasing jaw-dropping technical skills but never descending into pointlessly noodly territory.
