Video Games for Grandpa

Video games to ward off old age.

I heard this on the radio. I wonder if there was any truth to it. I mean the brain is like any other muscle in your body. The more you work it the stronger it gets, right? At the very minimum, this will be a great excuse to continue to play until your 80

hey, pick up a game of Sudoku and see how your mind hurts trying to figure that out... it sure can't hurt, right?

I know one thing... my parents will never play video games, no matter how it's geared lol

I think its true. People say crosswords and reading helps.
Well games use alot of brain power and make you think, therefore using brain energy.

Good excuse to play more

In that case, it's time to introduce them to a little Sudoku, Zuma, Snood, Hangman and Collapse!

Also uploading some java games into their mobile handsets would help. :P

oh dear... i dont think my grandfather will ever be enticed to play videogames, no matter how well i explain the benefits of brain exercise to the elderlies. he has a lot of things going on that provide for this requirement. he reads the Bible, watches Animal Planet, and has my grandmother to keep company. and they are both in their 80's!

ds and the revolution has the best chance with older people, because of the mini games.
