sailorzeoI sold my older Kodak digital camera for about $100, which tipped the scales enough for me to get my DS Lite (so now I can stop whining about it). Also picked up an accessory kit, Brain Age, Cooking Mama, Meteos (display copy) and Need for Speed Most Wanted (used, for Matt). Meteos and NFSMW are going back, though. Not too interesting. I found it's almost more effective in Meteos to just repeatedly, rapidly scribble the stylus back and forth across the screen and just forget about strategy. Lost interest real fast. Matt prefers his digital crack on the computer (bigger screen, better control for him).
I was a little dismayed to receive an initial brain age of 50. FIFTY!! Yegads. The trouble I'm encountering with the game is it has trouble recognizing some of my numbers (hurting me in the calculation exercises: I'll get the answer right, but it reads it wrong), and it can't read my "k"s. I spent most of the time in the word memorization trying to get it to recognize "punk". But I'll learn to create letters it can recognize.
Cooking Mama is cute, but I have some trouble controlling the speed/whatever of the stylus. Peeling carrots is tough; I haven't gotten the whole way through a practice session yet!
