    7 Games to Work Your Brain

    In case you missed it, President Obama spoke directly to school children last week, asking them to stay in school and study up for the future. I thought the speech was inspiring, but he did kind of diss my beloved video games. Obama asked the youth of America to not "spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox." This could be sound advice, except for the fact that there are plenty of brain-challenging games out there to improve your coordination, smarts, and problem-solving skills. Everything in moderation, people! Check out a few of my favorites here.

    I buy myself a big gift every Xmas and this year I'm picking up a WII. I just bought a Star Wars the Clone Wars lightsaber duels this afternoon. You couldn't beat the one day half price on it so I bought it Smiling
