    I had one of these about a year ago. It was kind of fun, but being a color-blind American half of the challenges were useless to me.

    you should look into popcap games. They generally have color blind modes for their games.

    Listen guys, this is lame. "Brain Exercise", whether for the iPhone or Nintendo DS, was never proven to actually help your brain. If you want something that IS, look into an exercise termed "N-back". An application directly based on N-back tests is in the app store. I bought it a while back and have been using it diligently and absolutely love it. On 5-back so far. The apps name in the App Store is called "IQ Boost". And yes, you're welcome.

    @TheSonOfKrypton:


    i don't think anyone's arguing that brain age improves cognitive function. But it is a fun game and the little distractions it provides are perfect for the iPhone.

    I'm never really sure what to do when I spot a typo?!?!? You wrote Soduko and I'm fairly sure it's Sudoku, but is it really necessary to point out, or should I just ignore it?

    I never understood this. If it's all done via the force/brain/whatever - why do you have to raise your hand(s). I think that people that use the force are just a wee bit melodramatic...

    @Fuzi Lojak: OK, now please tilt your head back and lower the blast shield.. Good. Now raise your lightsaber and bring it to your nose without cutting off your head. Yes, I know you can't see, but your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them. Stretch out with your feelings.
