Games to keep the brain active

The older folks in Japan have found a way to keep their brains alert and agile – by playing video games that were specifically designed to train the brain. Developed by scientists, the games are expected to delay the manisfestation of dementia. The line of Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day games have proved to be a massive hit, with millions of these games have been sold in Japan today. An European launch is on the horizon this month. Your score in Brain Age is calculated at the end of each game, so you might be a hobbling geriatric possessing the brain of a youth – or the other way round.
