I doubt the games really make you SMARTER... but they do stimulate quicker thinking, and I guess you can learn from them as well. So they do have a positive influence!

I think their just a random game that doesnt work. The first one was successful so they just kept on making them. I think the questions are too easy.

That's very funny - but what was she like before she started playing?I still maintain that regular use keeps the brain cells active and therefore productive. So perhaps you don't get smarter .... you just don't get dumber!I don't think it works my mom got for her birthday and plays it constantly and she is still dumber than a rock

I think so. I think everything where you just consentrate and so on makes you smarter. However they dont make your Einstein just some promilles to your intelligent

Not necessarily. They help your brain solve problems easier etc and keep it 'active'. As example, I'm really not that good at math (I've been diagnosed with dyscalculia), and when I play the game again after a while, let's say the one where you have to calculate the change, at first it's really difficult for me. When I continue to play it daily, I manage to solve it faster every time. But no, it doesn't make me smarter, it just helps my brain recognize the problem and knowing how to solve it faster.So it's as the title says: Brain training.It's TRAINS your brain, it doesn't make you smarter.I'd say you get smarter when you read a book on a certain subject and you learn new stuff. Like school.

i think that the brain game doesnt make you smarter but it does help you focus and concentrate on the task. this would probably help you focus on other things better e.g. homework

It keeps your brain at a stae where is can think quickly and efficiently, and process information at an optimum level. Make you smarter? No, but it keeps your potential for so up.

Well lately i've just seen Shai posting alot of topics. Anyone going to warn him or is that ok? Topic spamming with just a few titles is really lame. I mean why would you do that? Just for some ROMS? Or just for some cool stuff in the gp store?

i believe that they don't make you smarter, but with exercise, make your brain's reaction time 'trimmed'. You can't really learn any new information, hence getting smarter, but the repetitive unknown exercise allows your brain to think quick and smooth-like. so im saying it makes your brain quicker, not smarter.
Should I feel bad if I want everything to become ice cream?

Do they make you "smarter"? Doubt it for they do not really add information. They DO increase reaction time and temporary memory.
