Is Brain Age as smart as it claims?
We’ve all heard the criticism that video games are for dullards with lax brain muscles. That playing video games will turn your brain into a fine mixture of cerebellum and mashed potatoes, a combination served at the high society of zombie Thanksgiving.

It’s a longstanding and often losing battle. But somehow, developers continue to push games that educate while entertaining young gamers. Today, the dark horse leading the charge is the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) and their release of Immune Attack this past May, with the help of Brown University and the University of Southern California.
