You probably assume that DS gamers who want to rock out New Super Mario Bros. and Brain Age have already owned these games for months now. After all, they were released in May and April, respectively. If you’re thinking this way, you’d better hit up Brain Age, as your rusty brain synapses are getting crossed and formulating false conclusions. The two games grabbed the top two spots on BestBuy.com’s console game sales charts during the week of July 30-August 5. Other DS games made the the top 10, including Mario Kart DS in the fifth spot and Trauma Center: Under the Knife in sixth.
Of course, this will likely change once Madden hits on August 22. Sure, it’ll be the same football game we’ve seen for the past several years with a few new features, but that won’t stop tons of gamers from putting their cash down on it, knocking these innovative DS gems down the charts. Personally, I’d say John Madden needs to play some Brain Age and improve his noggin, as he tends to repeat the same lines over and over in his games. Better yet, let’s see him tackle some Koopas in New Super Mario Bros. I can’t think of a more amusing sight. Wait, yes I can – John Madden playing Madden on Wii.

I only just picked up New Super Mario Bros. a couple weeks ago although I had Brain Age since launch.
Madden sucks. Always has, always will.
I'm pretty sure John madden repeats himself just as much in real life as he does in games.
Madden is a good football game if you're a fan of football. Tell me how much you would change your game year by year if you only had a few months to develope it and only a few months to put new college players and new rosters together? Don't sit there and trash talk stuff you're too ignorant to actually think about. They've made a lot of great advancements in the genre and one in particular is franchise mode which is awesome for any football fan who doesn't really care for actually playing (like me). Anyhow, aside from new and better character animations, how are you going to make football any better than football if your graphics are already maxed out? Please don't suggest a game is stupid just because you don't understand it. Its the same thing Sony fanboys do to Nintendo by saying its kiddy. Want to be like them?
