It looks like a math problem, but it's not.

"Dr. Sudoku" Ships for Game Boy® Advance    

A Game That Could "Increase Your Lifespan" Comes to the Most Popular  Handheld Game System    

SAN FRANCISCO, CA   April 26, 2006   Video game publisher Mastiff announced  today that it has shipped Dr.Sudoku for the Game Boy® Advance handheld video  game system to major retailers across North America. Dr. Sudoku is the  definitive handheld version of the puzzle phenomenon that is sweeping the  nation.

   

In addition to the hundreds of hours of brain challenging entertainment that  Dr. Sudoku offers gamers, recent studies suggest that games like Dr. Sudoku  can actually increase people's lifespan. According to a recent study  conducted at the University of Edinburgh, games such as Sudoku can awaken  'survival genes' that lay dormant in the human brain. These survival genes  make the brain cells live longer and resist disease, strokes and the effects  of drugs.

   

The Dr. Sudoku video game features 1,000 hand created puzzles, Original  Mode, which lets you create you own Sudoku puzzles, a tutorial mode, help  for those moments when you really are stuck, the ability to "pencil in"  possible solutions, and a puzzle problem creation mode. BusinessWeek.com  recently said that Dr. Sudoku "could be the next Tetris."

   

Sudoku looks like a math problem, but it's not. The rules are simple: start  with a grid consisting of nine three-by-three squares in which some of the  numbers are already supplied. Fill in the blank squares so that each column,  row, and three-by-three grid contains a number from 1 to 9 with none  repeated.

Dr. Sudoku vs. Dr. Mario. WHO CAN CURE CANCER, GO

"I will cure it with painfully boring number puzzles"
"I'll throw nolvelty sized capsules at it until there is victory!"

shouldn't this game be on the DS so you can actually draw the numbers in, and the game can recognize them?

computer sudoku sucks, so I'm guessing that GBA sudoku is gonna suck too.
