Is there any scientific evidence that these 'brain games' actually improve brain function?

They produce increased activity in the brain — while the games are novel. You can get the same result from almost any new activity that requires some thought and excitement. I remember hearing the same guff about playing the game "Defender" back in the early 1980s.
So if you're choosing between "Magic Brain Epsilon Wave" and "Super Duper Judge Dredd Cart Racing" — totally up to you.

There may be soft science evidence as opposed to hard evidence that improvements are made in brain function. Many tests can be performed to assess brain function (even final exams?).
