Nintendo's Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! has received Edge magazine's 'Edge Award,' which recognizes games that show "the willingness to aim higher and try something new." Brain Age beat out cult hits like Guitar Hero (PS2) & Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (DS), along with Amped 3 (Xbox 360), Dragon Quest VIII (PS2), Electroplankton (DS), Indigo Prophecy (PC/PS2/Xbox), and Killer 7 (GameCube). "Only Nintendo could make arithmetic fun," remarked Nintendo UK general manager David Yarnton upon accepting the award.

Edge also presented an award to InfoSpace's Dirty Sanchez for best mobile game.

I think Brain Age is a great game. It definitely deserves this award.

It does deserve the award.

Guitar Hero was fun, but not as fun as Brain Age's download multiplayer with a bunch of nerds ;)

guitar games have been done before, the edge award is for successful innovation. so whilst guitar hero is better it isn't 'pushing the boundaries' of what we expect a game to be.
