Usually the transition goes from console to mobile phone, resulting in a dumbed down shell of a game that shares nothing but a title and a gimmicky resemblance to the original. Gameloft, a leading mobile phone game developer is turning the tables.
The popular Brain Challenge game is coming off the phones and into Xbox Live Arcade. "Xbox Live Arcade is the perfect vehicle for us to expand out presence with players of all types" stated Gonzague de Vallois, senior vice president of Publishing at Gameloft.
Brain Challenge has sold over 1.5 million units, killing time before haircuts and diverting attention from class since 2006. Brain Challenge claims to develop abilities in logic, math, memory and visual thinking all in a fun and entertaining way. I haven’t tried it, but I guess I’ll download the trial version and check it out.
Gameloft plans on expanding to the iPod, Nintendo DS and PC shortly after their debut on Xbox Live Arcade. Seriously though? Brain Challenge? How good could this game be?
I guess I’ll find out after I try the demo.
