To follow up on my post in the August 06 topic, Brain Age is very fun the first 30-60 days you play it (which could last a year), but once you unlock everything the mini-games get to be a bit of a pain. The thing is, though, I really think it works. (With the whole keeping your brain awake and letting it do more mental leaps thing; not only on the days you do the training, but also as lasting longterm effects) That and there’s Brain Age 2 out now, with a more creative focus. The fun lasts a lot longer if you play along with other people, as they always have you doing warm-ups like drawing random things, and then everyone gets to see each other’s results. I recommend getting both, as they’re ridiculously cheap compared to “normal” games.
WarioWare: Touched! is also pretty good. I’m surprised that one was never mentioned.
Looking through my collection… It seems I haven’t bought any DS games in the last year or so. O_o
I need to get Zelda PH.
