When you have a friend or family member who enjoys gaming, it can be difficult to decide what to gift them. The first thought normally comes to purchase them a new game for their chosen gaming platform, but is this always a good idea?

When choosing to gift someone a new game, it is not always the best idea and we would not recommend it. Gamers are known to be picky, they are known to only enjoy playing certain games. Whilst some may be open to trying new games, not everyone will be happy with it. It can also be difficult to know all the games that this person has. So unless you have been asked for a certain game by the person we would recommend not purchasing them one. Your best bet with gifting a gamer is to purchase them a game shop or Amazon voucher where they can choose what they would like to buy.

Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training is a game that has been released by Nintendo that is said to improve your brain, improving your memory and how your brain works.

Unfortunately, even though this game is incredibly fun, there is little to no evidence to show that playing this game really does anything to help your brain. While you may see your brain age score go from 70+ to around the 20 age mark, there is nothing to support this. The game is simply finding these results by how you play, which is near impossible. The game does not take into account that some people may struggle with some aspects. For example, if you are dyslexic, you may struggle with maths or reading. The game should take into account your own progress, which it does not. You are simply playing the games for your own pleasure. While completing the game daily, may help with some aspects, it simply doesn’t improve your brain. The only thing it may improve is how quick you can complete simple addition sums and match letter of the alphabet to the corresponding number.
