You heard it right, this week I’m pitting two of the better phone software companies out there (in my opinion anyways) on each of their own “Brain Games”. 
First a look at SPB Brain Evolution. Starting off, you’ll think “who is the golden man?” maybe a trophy from the old Bond movie Goldfinger but no, he is just jolting your brain so that you are ready for all the goodness that is to follow! The game comes with 10 games, which (like games like Brain Age for the DS) you have to play the lower level games to unlock the higher level games. The games are: Arithmetics, Quadronica, Memorics, Sudoku, Numbers, Minesweeper, Balltracker, Guess Who, Encyclopedia and Matches. I’ll get into more detail for each game later in the review. I do like this style of game play, but at the same time I don’t. I’m too impatient to wait for all of the games to be unlocked. I also forget to play sometimes and feel that i missed out on something. The games that I have unlocked (Arithmetics to Minesweeper) are all very good and the more you progress the more difficult they are so they don’t just stay on the easy level forever. There are user profiles, so you can let whoever you want play and they wont screw up your game and there is also a “Interesting Facts” section; which is … interesting. You can also set your “brain mark” which for me is currently at “Student.” 
Now lets see Resco Brain Games. The first thing you’ll think about this is “Wow, iPhone-ish interface” and then you’ll remember that the iPhone is just a glorified app launcher and WinMo phones will always rule. :) Game selection here is amazing! there are 44 games to choose from and they are divided up into 4 categories; Calculation, Memory, Analysis, and Attention. So less of the more “popular” games like in Brain Evolution, but more games that seem to really work your brain. And if you’re reading this I’m sure your brain needs some work! The games are a load of fun and aren’t as easy as you may think. They get progressively harder as you move on per level of game. Oh i forgot to mention, most games have at most 10 levels (at least 6) so that makes about 400 different games that you’ll run into. For example, on “Calculation” level 1 is simple adding and subtracting where level 5 is multiplication and division. You can also choose a profile for this game, but the options are pre-defined for you as “Default”, “Green” and “Red”. And for statistics you get charts for overall progress, daily and per category which is nice to see.
Read on to get my recommendations and see who wins the fight.
