Yeah sorry about the rant from earlier today, I guess if my mom has fun with the game that is all that matters and if it does indeed help people, it's a bonus. I'll be picking up a DS and Brain Age this week, possibly tonight :)

No prob Legend. But do me a favour. Whether or not you get Brain Age, get clubhouse games! THAT is a game your mom will love.

Infact as I type this, my mom is sitting beside me playing bowling. It comes with 42 card, table and other parlour games and it's one hundred percent parent addicting. I got it so my parents could try a game on my DS, within 2 weeks my mom suggested I get a second DS for dad on fathers day, so we could play games together (single card multi!) Now my dad playes solitaire and chinese checkers, and my mom loved grid attack, billiards and bowling. We also play games together all the time. Currently my mom's best friend and my older sister and her partner are now thinking of getting DS's just for that game.

Your mom will love it, and more importantly, you will actually enjoy playing it with her. Playing videogames with your mom? Now THAT is cool


Clubhouse games is nice overall, but two things killed the game for me:

1) The Texas Hold-em does not follow tournament (or even common house) rules. When playing online it doesn't give you enough options to play psychologically with - and psychology is a huge factor in poker.

2) I hated being forced to play one of the games (the one with the Japanese characters that's kind of like chess). After arriving at that stage I tried the game out, and haven't touched the game again. It's been about three months now.
