DSGamers do love their Brain Age. Who would have thought that a game that tells most people (the first time they play) that their brain is way older than they are would actually be fun? Dr. Kawashima proved that edutainment wasn't a cliché word reserved for kids when he brought DS gamers the Brain Age franchise. Through a series of puzzling exercises, mathematical challenges and logical tests the game promised you a healthier, smarter brain. Adults delighted in these activities, just as much as children and countless casual gamers hit their local game store to buy a DS. Now, it's new decade and Dr. Kawashima is making use of the latest gaming technology to give fans a Kinect-ed brain education.

Body and Brain Connection for the Xbox 360 is expected to come home in Spring 2011. As the title suggests, the game makes use of the Xbox Kinect motion controller. Instead of just a hand-eye coordinated game experience you will have to use your body. The game is a test of brain and reflex forcing you to think fast as if Jeopardy was a race and your brain was your feet - or, in this case, your arms. There are five different categories of play: Physical, Memory, Logic, Reflexes and Math. Each category has four games. The number four seems to be a key number in this game because you can play with up to four players (one at a time) at four difficulty levels. Just in case that comes up in a test, you'll be prepared. You can start every day with a Brain Fitness Test that arbitrarily selects which different challenges from the five categories. Dr. Kawashima serves as an in-game character navigating you towards a stronger brain.

The Clik tested out several mini-games found in Body and Brain Connection. Here are a few:

Matchmaker (Logic) - In Matchmaker, you are given several shapes. You must use your right and left hands to select the appropriate shapes. This may seem easy at first, but each game is timed, adding just the right amount of difficulty to the puzzle.

Traffic Control (Logic) - Traffic Controller was one of our favorite games in Body and Brain Connection. This game is similar to Train Conductor 2 from The Voxel Agents for iPhone. Different cars come onto the screen from the left and based on their color you must direct them to the corresponding colored platform on the right.

Balloon Buster (Reflex) - Balloon Buster sounds like an easy enough game. Gamers must pop balloons in order of smallest number to largest number. However, once the game introduces negative numbers, you will quickly realize why this is a reflex game. Since this is a timed activity, your brain must quickly tell your hands that negative thirty-nine is less than negative nineteen, while thirty-nine is greater than nineteen. Without a timer, it's a piece of cake. Dr. Kawashima likes to test gamers and this game will have spectators laugh as you try your best to remember how to count under the clock.

There are other cool games like a digital clock game, where gamers must use their hands as the hour and minute hands on a standard twelve-hour clock. The digital clock shows numbers in military time. So for PM times, American gamers will have to do some quick math to work out exactly what time it is. There's another brain game that is similar to patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. You use your left hand to control Dig Dug (yes the classic Dig Dug avatar from the Atari days), while your right hand controls Pac-Man. Another math game, makes you compare numbers by telling the Kinect whether the numbers are greater than, less than or equal to the corresponding number. You will actually have to make the greater than and less than sign with your arms. The equal sign is made by sticking both arms straight out in opposite directions.

Body and Brain Connection tracks both family and individual stats. There will also be a Tournament Mode that works like a Game Show. Right now, the Tournament Mode is still being worked on. The Kinect takes pictures of you while you play so that winners can boast. There are currently no plans to bring Body and Brain Connection to the PS3.

Out of all the Kinect games we've checked out since E3, Body and Brain Connection definitely rises to the top of the list. This is one game that may attract the same crowd of casual gamers who jumped on the DS when Brain Age and Sudoku games came out from Nintendo.
