brain challenge

Brains And Bliss On XBLA Wednesday

5:20AM Mike Fahey | Brain training comes to the Xbox Live Arcade this week in the form of Gameloft’s creatively named Brain Challenge, 800 Microsoft points worth of brain exercises for children and adults, complete with multiplayer support for up to four players both online and off, and a special Creative Mode that allows you to relax and explore your imagination, a practice men generally relegate to the bathroom. Along with the brain games comes Bliss Island, a 400 Microsoft point game by Codemasters, which puts you in control of Hoshi the Zwooph, a strange blue creature with the power to blow clouds out of it’s snout. Not just any clouds – puzzle solving clouds. Yes, this week is all about making you smarter and then letting you show off your newfound wits. Both games will be available early Wednesday morning.
