Fifty-six. That's the average age we editors at GamesRadar are getting when we first fire up the mind-twisting Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day. While our memories of the average '80s weekend may vary, none of us quite hits that age bracket just yet (and in fact, our scores seem to get better quickly, at least at first). But it doesn't matter - this mental Twister mat isn't about competition. We recently had a chat with two guys responsible for translating and porting Brain Age to ...

N-Europe's Nathan Whincup writes: "Sticking to what appears to be a now solid schedule for DS demos on the Nintendo Channel in Europe, a demo of Dragon Ball: Origins is now up for grabs and just waiting to be downloaded to directly to your DS for your pre-release perusal.

Origins goes back to the roots of the Dragon Ball franchise in a colourful 3D action RPG, and has garnered a lot of positive feedback since its Western debut at Leipzig back in August. The demo acts as a small introduction to battles and controls (as the game is entirely controlled via the touch screen), whilst the full game promises around 30 hours of action-packed content.

Dragon Ball: Origins is set for a release on December 5th in Europe."

Those expecting Nintendo-like numbers will be disappointed, but those who love Afro Samurai - or just numbers in general - will be thrilled!
