Eidos goes on a Brain Voyage
The brain training bandwagon has gotten increasingly crowded over the last year, with everyone and their brother seemingly thinking it's their duty to churn out interactive tools to help the cerebrally infirm. The latest company to climb on board is Eidos with Brain Voyage, a new "stylish and challenging" noodle puzzler coming to the Nintendo DS later this year.For board game enthusiasts, the game features "ingenious" puzzles designed by noted German game designer Dr. Reiner Knizia, known for such board games as Amun-Re, Modern Art, and Lord of the Rings. As for what sorts of puzzles we can expect, Eidos notes that the game will feature a sort of globe trotting mechanic, as players ponder 80 different geographically-relevant puzzles "ranging from easy to elaborately ambitious." Details remain cloudy on how exactly these puzzles will work, though that could simply be a side effect of our mental faculties being on increasingly shaky ground.

We have a secret obsession with board games. Whether it be Arkham Horror, Settlers of Catan or Crimson Skies, we love getting the crew together and throwing down. And, with this latest news, our day just keeps getting better.German board game creator Dr. Reiner Knizia will be bringing some of his games to the DS, thanks to publisher Merscom. Having never played any of the fellow's games, we still find ourselves interested. But, that's probably because the man has won more accolades than we have fingers and toes.
