Test your vocab skills with Brainisaurus

With the holidays drawing nearer, some parents may feel the pressure to purchase a game for a child or family member. Yet, they may be conflicted about the purchase, and want to go with something educational. BeBop Games may be hoping to lure in those shoppers with its new, educational word game Brainisaurus. More a straight educational title, rather than edutainment, Brainisaurus has over 40,000 words and 50 “challenge” levels.

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any system requirements listed anywhere on the BeBop Games site. It doesn’t seem like it has any major download requirements, since the screenshots look somewhat plain. I’d say if you have a Windows PC with XP or better, you should have no problem with running Brainisaurus. I tried running the 23mb trial on my Windows Vista PC and had no trouble. The full version is $19.95, but you may want to try downloading and running the demo first to make sure your PC can handle it.

I wonder if, perhaps, Brainisaurus gets more challenging. The demo isn’t particularly difficult, and the screenshots available at the BeBop Games site make it look a bit, well, remedial. It doesn’t appear that challenging, and yet the presentation makes it look as though it would be more appealing to adults than children. And yet, the title Brainisaurus suggests some sort of dinosaur-hosted, educational children’s game.
