Just spotted a report mentioned on Yahoo! stating that video games may be good for the brain.
The idea that video games exercise your brain is, I would have thought, obvious but it's nice to see there is research that confirms my thoughts.
Despite claiming to be an avid gamer there was also this quote from the researcher...
He suggested that somewhere down the road, video games might be tailored to help the elderly keep their minds sharp.
Which seems a little strange considering the massive amount of publicity the Brain Training games have garnered in recent months.
Anyway - I mustn't complain - I'm just happy that something positive is being said about games, as opposed to the ridiculous news that video games are now being blamed for how people drive! FWIW The suggestion that 15 is too young to drive is something I would look at changing first, personally I think the uk age limit, of 17, is more than adequate.
Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.
