Ryan Atkinson contacted us about his new game Working Memory Workout. WMW is a memory game where you have to remember the last thing that was shown and determine if the new image you are shown is different or the same as the previous image.
Ryan told us: “WMW is based on a simple memory task called the N-back (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-back). I won’t make claims about what WMW can do, but it has the potential to be really great for our brains, because training with the dual N-back variation increases fluid intelligence according to one study. (http://www.iapsych.com/articles/jaeggi2008.pdf)
WMW is for people of all ability levels, and it automatically adjusts difficulty to maintain an appropriate challenge. It has a lot of features and customizable elements, but few achievement-based rewards. WMW was designed for daily use, and results might emerge over weeks, months, or not at all.”
The game looks rather interesting, If you are a memory match fan, or just are curious about the game you can get it by clicking this link. Have fun increasing your brain power.*
* as stated by Ryan playing this game may or may not increase fluid intelligence. ItBGames cannot prove whether this increases brain activity or not, but we can say you might enjoy it. Neither Ryan nor ItBGames can be held responsible for what this game does to intelligence. Insert laugh track here.
Hello all, Jonathan and I are taking a break for the Christmas holidays. We may drop in and post a thing or two during this break, but we won’t be back full force until January. Also, as the name suggests here are some ideas for what you could get you and yours for christmas.
First of all, Bytejacker has some suggestions for games at and under $5:
Remember, Kino One is also only $4.95 and just in time for christmas, so pick up a copy if you like classic arcade shooters, especially if you like co-op gameplay.
We apologize, Kino One was unable to be up on Game Du Jour on the 21st of December, however it will be up soon. We will post an update stating when the game will be up. And it will be for half-off still so be on the lookout!
And, on the 21st of December Kino One will be half off on Game Du Jour! If you want to pick it up for less than $2.50 then snatch it up on the 21st. The special will only run for 24 hours so get it as soon as you can.
Also, check out these links for more ideas on getting cheap games:

The fine people over at Intermediaware have released their game Absolute Blue for the low, low price of free. So head over to www.intermediaware.de and get yourself a copy.
Space: The Retribution, is a simple yet fun game. It’s rather short, but it’s free and worth a play. It’s a space shooter with RPG elements, I recommend playing it.
From the game: “Space is no longer safe. Your mining stations have been taken over by an unknown enemy. It’s up to you to liberate them.”
“Do You Remember My Lullaby” is an interesting project. I put it under “Free Games” although, technically, it’s not a game. It’s a short story that is done with RPG Maker, as the developer describes it:
“It is an odd game around these parts of town.
Well actually, it is not a game at all.
Lullaby is a short story presented with the style [of a] 2D game (mainly non-interactive), partly as an experimentation to test the storytelling potential of this arguably relatively limited medium. No epic adventures, no battle filled tension, and barely even any [dialogue]. Just a short, simple story following one particular person’s day during the holiday season.
So if you have 20 minutes, why not give it a spin and see something a little different?”
I highly recommend checking it out, It’s a decent short, not what I expected. The developer is a good storyteller to say the least.
