Smart As announced for Vita

Brain-sharpening puzzler out this Autumn.

Smart As, a new "social brain-training experience", is on its way to Vita, Sony has announced.

According to the PlayStation Blog, it's being developed at the platform holder's XDev Europe office and will include "20 unique, engaging, tactile and highly interactive puzzle games".

"Smart As takes full advantage of PS Vita's touchscreens, cameras and Augmented Reality capabilities to deliver Daily Training challenges featuring fun arithmetic, logic, language and observation-based puzzles," assistant producer Nicolo Accordino explained.

"Your scores from each puzzle are used to calculate your overall Brain Power and anybody at any skill level can get in on the fun. The more you play, the better your chances are of increasing your Brain Power score and unlocking new puzzle games."

There are leaderboards and Facebook integration so you can brag to your chums about how clever you are once you're done.

It'll be released both as a full retail title and a download. Take a look at the trailer below for more.
