BBC News has an article on Nintendo games that are intended to up your smarts ( found via Lifehacker). This is not a new idea, and beyond so called educational games, many games have at least some benefit. From time to time, you hear about the First Person Shooters improving people's observation skills and reaction times. The once popular text (ASCII) adventure games have been shown to greatly improve reading and vocabulary. This doesn't mean computer gaming doesn't have its drawbacks, but if you do some research many games are very beneficial.
Enjoy your evening, and go try a text adventure or MUD
