Got Game Entertainment has already started to ship PC and Mac verions of their MindHabits game across America, bringing scientifically tested challenges that are both simple and fun to casual gamers everywhere. The main goal of MindHabits is to help one maintain a more positive state of mind so that stress can be reduced while self-confidence receives a much needed boost. MindHabits is a game that transcends age, as it can be played by anyone from
all walks of life. It was developed based on over a decade of research and findings by Dr. Mark Baldwin of esteemed McGill University, helping you think and feel better every day as you spend time with the $19.99 game.

According to the developers of “MindHabits”, your frame of mind makes a huge difference in daily self-confidence and ability to deal with stress; research demonstrates the ability to shift this frame using the specially designed “MindHabits” challenges. In one challenge, for example, you must find the smiling faces in a crowd of frowns, which studies have shown can help train your mind to react to positive information. Similarly, word challenges associate certain concepts with your own personal words, reinforcing positive personal associations and activating positive patterns of thought.

Some of the game’s features include :-

• 200 levels of game play in 4 core games
• Daily tracking of results and measurement of progress over time
• Customizable male/female only options
• Over 1,500 face images in higher levels
• Game play adaptable to player skill level
• Ability to customize for age, neighborhood, and facial characteristics
• Science lab that explains how and why “MindHabits” works

Sounds like a much more advanced version of the best selling Brain Age series on the DS. I expect to see more of such titles hit the market in the future.
