My fiancé and I have been playing a lot of Brain Age for the DS since I got a copy at the last Game Developer Conference. It’s pretty amazing how addicting Math can become when coupled with a cool interface and with the knowledge that you can unlock more content. The game really takes off when multiple people play on the same cartridge and a “friendly” competition builds. Right now my fiancé is kicking my ass in almost every category.
Nintendo is definitely on to something with its strategy of disrupting the game industry by appealing to non hardcore gamers. I know I can’t wait to get my hands on the Revolution come E3. I’m still not sure when Naughty Dog’s new game will be publicly announced. I can’t wait to be able to speak freely about our next game.
