Loot-Ninja writes "Learning in games extends from the blatant learning software out there to puzzle games and to shooters, all seeping knowledge into your brain whether you like it or not. There is the obvious Brain Training and Professor Layton to the more obvious History Channel games. For me, gaming is not limited to lounging and minimal brain activity, it's an activity to be mentally engaged and to get excited about. I like learning; I watch the History Channel and National Geographic (not just for the naked native boobies) so deal with it. If you play a game and you manage to walk away without taking anything of value from it, then you have wasted your time. I just ask everyone to remember the most important lesson of all, one brought to us by Left 4 Dead. In case of a zombie apocalypse, AIM FOR THE HEAD. You know one day you will need that little gem of knowledge."
