vs. Brain Age

There's an obvious similiarity to Brain Age, but the article doesn't go into it much. There's a number of unanswered questions, such as:

Is it by the same company as Brain Age?
Which came first?
How does it compare? Is it a worthy title or a cheap knock-off?

If you can find reliable sources comparing the games, feel free to include that in the article. As long as they are not personal opinions (yours or from others), it should be fine. -- ReyBrujo 18:46, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know they are both part of the touch generation series (e.g nintendogs etc.)Ilikevideogames 17:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I thought Big Brain Academy was supposed to be a sequel to Brain Age! --Brandon Dilbeck 21:48, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Big Brain Academy.jpg

Image:Big Brain Academy.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Mass or Weight?

This question may be annoying to some, but I think it may as well be addressed. The game gives a reading of your brain in grams. This would indicate that the game hypothetically measures brain mass. Yet the article refers to the results as a reading of brain weight, and that the heavier the brain, the smarter the individual. This is innacurate, because mass and weight are actually much more different than is generally believed. If the game were apeaking of brain weight it would have used pounds or Newtons (admittedly, nobody uses pounds outside the US and Newtons are far from a mainstream unit). This is probably a relatively petty issue, but I figured it couldn't hurt to bring it up.

Er, grams and pounds/ounces are the same type of measure (of mass); Newtons are a measure of force. Tim (Xevious) (talk) 10:55, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
