Brain Challenge

Afraid of knowing how stupid you are? Then don't play this.

I thought I was pretty smart until I played this and saw my average score show up on the Xbox Live leaderboard at place 50,567. That's extremely depressing knowing there are 50,000 gamers out there smarter than me, even more depressing is seeing a guy with the name 'INailedYourSister' placed directly above me.

The idea behind this game is to improve your I.Q the longer you play it. Which is kind of the reverse effect for a video game.

It's hard, VERY hard and you will curse and scream at your TV set everytime you pick the wrong answer (the controller also vibrates as if to mock your stupidity) but at the same time it's highly addictive and a lot of fun to play.

It does work and you will certainly notice the difference after playing it for a while (everyday if you can for the best results). Whether or not it will make you a better gamer is yet to be proven (hasn't worked for me in that respect).
