Train your brain for less than $20

Brain AgeIf there's anything that truly excites and delights me, it's the sight of a budget price label on a brand new game. When I burst into stores (I usually kick over a kiosk or two as well) this coming April in order to pick up Brain Age: Train Your Brain in an Unspecified Number of Minutes a Day, it seems that I'll will be greeted by just such an image.

According to an article on MTV's website (yes, that's right), the game will be launching at the sweet price of $19.99, a significant drop from the usual $34.99 tag that accompanies new DS releases. That's like what, a $60 difference?

No? I guess I'll have to flex my cortex, batter my gray matter and yes, train my brain on April 17.

1. Having only 100 sudoku puzzles is lame. Why is it that only GlobalStar (Sudoku Fever) can figure out that it's not that hard to dynamically generate puzzles and thus provide the user a nigh-infinite number?

2. If this game was at the usual price point I wouldn't be interested, but now I wouldn't mind getting it.

3. I guess I'll be picking this game up then...

Dammit, I'm gonna be broke by the time the Revolution comes out. >_>;;;
