Boulder Dash heads for handhelds

DS News | Boulder Dash Rocks

Thursday 3 May 2007 Retro classic Boulder Dash is heading for DS and PSP with the cleverly-titled Boulder Dash Rocks, complete with a new look. Now, although we haven't seen a diamond prospector in the flesh, we don't reckon they look like aliens (see below). Never mind though - at least Rockford's big head will make him look like that classic sprite we used to love on the Spectrum. The first game started life as a home console game in 1984 and was ported to arcades shortly afterwards when the ...

Brain Training celebrates 100 weeks in the charts

DS - Brain Age 2 - Brain Training celebrates 100 weeks in the charts

DZ: This week marks the 100th week the original Brain Training has been in the UK charts.

In fact, we don't think the game has ever left the charts since its launch back in June 16th 2006, so it seems all those Chris Tarrant, Nicole Kidman and Jean-Luc Picard filled adverts really did work!

Latest sales figures from late 2007 back cite that the game has sold 11.71 million copies worldwide since its initial release in Japan back in May 19th 2005.

'Brain Age' Creator is Freaking Crazy

DS News from N4G | Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day

DS - Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day - 'Brain Age' Creator is Freaking Crazy

Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, the man behind the popular Brain Age games for the DS, is a pretty strange dude. He refuses to accept any of the $11 million in royalties he's entitled from his involvement in the games, and he doesn't even really like videogames in the first place. All he wants to do in life is work. What a nutjob!

While it certainly is admirable that the good doctor is so obsessed with his work (he studies brains - big surprise), you'd think there would be some room left for fun. Well, you'd be wrong. Dr. Kawashima lists "work" as his only hobby.

He doesn't even play his own games, and limits his kids to a mere 1 hour of videogame playtime per week. Per week!

Do brain training games actually work?

DS News | Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day

11 Jan, 2008 Brain training is big business. Since Dr Kawashima popularised the concept amongst the masses with Brain Age/Brain Training for Nintendo DS, we've been overwhelmed with games dedicated to head-sponge workouts. But do brain training games actually work? Of course, we're not smart enough to answer that question, so we were pleased to find that it's a topic covered in the January issue of New Scientist magazine. The feature contains plenty of neuroscientist debate on the matter and ...

Report: Brain Training aids study in schools

DS - Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day - Report: Brain Training aids study in schools

Gaming could soon be part of the national curriculum if one academic researcher has his way. Scottish primary school teacher Derek Robertson, who set up Consolarium--the Scottish Centre for Games and Learning--has released results of his most recent study that shows so-called brain-training games have a positive impact both on behaviour and on learning when used in schools.

The study took place over three P6 school classes (children aged 10-11), where School A was given 30 Nintendo DS consoles and copies of Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training and used them for 15-20 minutes every morning. School B used Brain Gym--a program of physical activities that is marketed as improving learning abilities--for the same amount of time every day, whereas School C acted as a control group and did not have access to either.
