Brain Boost: Gamma Wave

brain-boost.jpg

Where the games presented in other recent brain games have been engaging and addicting, Gamma Wave seems to have taken the opposite approach; making them boring to the point that you never want to play them again. Lets take the number sequence game for example. In order for you to actually play to advance the storyline you must first pass a practice round to prove your worth. You are presented with a sequence of numbers such as “673″, you get to stare at the numbers for a few seconds and are then presented with a list of multiple choice answers one of them being the correct response. Every few questions, the length of the sequence will grow by one number till you’ve answered twenty questions at which point you are graded by level of memory development. Believe my by the time you’ve done this twenty times you aren’t really too excited about being graded on your accuracy.  In fact chances are you’re thinking of the million other things you could be doing instead of playing this game.  I guess in a sense the game works because I would have never remembered I needed to sweep between the cracks in my sidewalk or buff my kitchen floor had I not played Gamma Wave.

There is no real audio and the graphics are like pictures out of your first grade text book. If you are really hard-up for an educational game and you have already been through all the other brain games available for DS then Brain Boost: Gamma Wave is perfect for you. In the case of being a hard-up educational game player with nothing else to do you can get this game for under $20. Personally I would clean my house top to bottom before wasting my time on this game again.

PS. Don’t be fooled by the second version of this game it is equally as bad.

Optimus Prime

“The Horizon T83 is a full-size treadmill with plenty of features for beginners and workout enthusiasts alike - from a large motor and running area to simple controls and programs. COMFORTzone™ plus Air Cell™ deck cushioning provides the right mix of shock absorption and support. The wider, 0.5 to 12 mph and 0-12% incline ranges give you more places to take your exercise program.”

No where in this description does it mention that this machine is in fact “THE DEVIL”! It makes you sweat like you have never sweat before, gives you pains in places you didn’t know you had, and in fact takes away all that fat you were storing for the winter.

All jokes aside… this is a fantastic machine, I call mine “Optimus Prime”, that’s right - after the transformer. It looks like Optimus and it will transform you like you never imagined. Optimus here has a built in fan and mp3 player (and speakers - but they do suck, you can not make the tunes too loud or the music cuts out). And you must be careful of the kill switch; I get my hands swinging and I tend to knock the emergency cord off, resetting my program…. if you can imagine it is quite a pain in the backside. Especially when you are on 5k run and you only have 15min left. Optimus folds up making it less of a room filler. If you remember it is a machine of transformation and not a clothes hanger you will be on your way to looking fabulous…. I know I am!

This beauty can be picked up for around $2099, I did get mine at Canadian Tire on sale for $1099 Great Deal for a life changer.

This product gets my lips2_thumbnail.jpgof approval.
