There is a lot of controversy around brain games. Skeptics say, no they don't really help. Others believe they are of enormous help in keeping the brain sharp or helping those with Alzheimer's.
My mother plays Slingo on the computer. I believe it helps. If nothing else it keeps her brain active and I am always looking for ways to keep her brain working.
One thing for sure, it can't hurt. So I recommend games like Slingo.
