Train Your Brain to Game

Nintendo is releasing Brain Training in April here in the states. It has been hugely successful in Japan and is completely different than anything released here so far. This means that it will most likely be a huge flop, but I am rooting for it. The basic idea is the "use it or lose it" principle. As you get older you should keep doing puzzles and simple math and other things popular among the elementary school crowd to keep your mind nimble. There next release is rumored to be Barney for Adults.
