    Less a game than a set of daily mental exercises, Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is something like an intelligence test that judges you in terms of age instead of IQ points. The goal is to get the lowest mental age possible—20 years—competing against your past scores and those of friends and family. And if you like sudoku, this game will hold you for a while: it comes programmed with 100 sudoku games of varying difficulty.
