I guess they're taking a break from SHMUPS.

"Brain Challenge" has something for everyone including Daily Test Mode, where players undergo a series of brain exercises and Stress Mode, which tests player's abilities to stay calm under stress. For those looking for a relaxing experience, Creative Mode allows players to relax and explore their imagination and Child Test lets players play & share their exercises with younger people. For competitive players, the game features multiplayer support for up to four players offline and online, as well as detailed stats and graphs where they can track their overall performance and progression.

So spring is basically here, which means Bionic Commando: Rearmed and Super Street Fighter II: Turbo HD Remix should be along before too long, right? Wasn't "spring" the given release window for these?

I'm definitely intrigued. I'll at least DL the demo.
As for the Brain Age knockoff, it might be good, but we have Brain Age 2 so I think I'll be passing on it as well. I've got enough XBLA games on my backlog at the moment though (N+, Triggerheart, Poker Smash, and Rocketmen) so a week of not much is no great loss on my part.

EDIT: For that matter, I wonder how many people are going to be disappointed in Ikaruga. It's a fantastic game, true, but it's also extremely difficult, and I just remember how many reviews slammed Omega Five & Triggerheart Exelica for their difficultly (both of which are substantially easier than Ikaruga).

Well, I do.
FUCK, I hope they never release that game.
