Don Your Thinking Cap And Get Ready For Brain My Day From Pocket More Games

Are you sick and tired of all of those brain training games out there?  You know the ones that give you some puzzle to solve or numbers to crunch.  Do you even care which is the next shape in the pattern anymore?  Yeah…that’s what I thought.  And so did the folks at Pocket More Games.  That’s why when they made their new brain training game, they threw out the rule book.  Where most of the games in this genre focus more on the training, Brain My day focuses on the game aspects, with the belief that brain training games should be at least as entertaining as any other genre.  So, to meet this goal, when Pocket More Games designed Brain My Day, they threw out the static images, threw out abstract color balls, and created, “a realistic interactive world,” which you can use to train your brain. 

Other features include:

28 games in total, plus building mode where you plant trees and build structures.
Tremendous amount of graphical content: over 100 locations

Unique NEW minigames, absolutely amazing and beautiful.
4 game modes - choose your gamestyle.
Little reading required - concentrate on playing, not studying.

Watch out, though, this game will require 20mb of memory to run.  Ouch.  Unfortunately, my Mogul does not have nearly enough memory to plan a review.  I’ll have to wait until I get a new phone to take a closer look at this one.

Brain My Day is available from Pocket More Games for $19.95

Review: Orions: DeckMasters Expansion Pack

I have long considered Orions: Legend of Wizards to be among the best games ever created for the Windows Mobile platform.  But I always felt there was one major feature missing.  In the past you could not create custom decks.  Now, anyone who has ever played a customizable card game, such as Magic: The Gathering, knows that creating your own customized deck is part of the thrill of the game.  It gives you an opportunity to test various cards and find exactly the right combinations.   In fact, this lack of customization over the default deck was one of the few criticisms I had when I originally reviewed the game and again when I reviewed the Second Age expansion pack.

With the new Deckmasters expansion pack, this criticism has finally been addressed.  You can now create and store dozens of custom decks at a time.  These decks will be available in Custom Duel Mode, which I found myself playing quite a bit.
