Oxygen Games has revealed Challenge Me: Brain Puzzles, the debut entry in a new range of DS games “designed to relax and stimulate your mind”. The company says that the title, which combines number based games Sudoku and Picture Logic, will deliver hours of entertainment and “may also improve your mental skills”. We see no reason why it wouldn’t do both, but then that’s hardly a novelty considering the plethora of brain training and puzzle games currently available.

In fact, the screenshots make the game look like it really would relax you, probably to the point of sending you to sleep. Perhaps that’s a little unfair though, because it’s not as if Sudoku puzzles look any more exciting in the back of the paper. Plus they’re pretty addictive, and playing them with the DS and stylus – 500 challenges are included – gives you that extra interactivity a pen and pencil can’t. Picture Logic sounds pretty fun. It sees you using your noggin to solve puzzles and in doing so build a picture. Can you complete the challenge to reveal the picture in the allotted time, or guess it before the clock runs out? Picture Logic will offer 500 puzzles too. Challenge Me: Brain Puzzles is due for release on March 6, but you can pre-order it now from Amazon by hitting the link below.
