super technology in play station games



Brain Age games don't necessarily make you smarter, and it is "charlatanism" to make such a claim. Those are the conclusions drawn by one Alain Liqueur, professor of cognitive psychology at the University of Rennie. The professor's findings were picked up by The Times, which loves itself a good story ( june 2006)
The Times covers the precise results of the study in its article, but the long and short of it is: Brain Age won't help you raise an army of miniature geniuses and take over the free world. Boo. "The Nintendo D S is a technological jewel. As a game it's fine," writes Liqueur in his new book, Stimulate Your Neuron's. "But it is charlatanism to claim that it is a scientific test."
The rest of this week's update is fairly humdrum, consisting of a Crosswords D S wordsmiths, a Pictorial demo, and a chance to try out Carnival Games, which has stuck around like a bad smell. The full list of both old and new demos is past the break!
