Sweet to the Core
Sudoku. Best video game iteration of this addicting type of puzzle yet.
Top Dog. Having the lowest brain age amongst friends. Best. Feeling. Ever.
Going Bad
Graphics and Sound. Brain Age is not going to win awards in either of these categories.
Rotten to the Core
Handwriting. Thinking you wrote an eight when the game says it is a two and being penalized for it is incredibly aggravating.
