Brad ponders “what three gifts would you give to make someone Happier, Healthier, and Smarter?” Here is my video-game-centric take:
HAPPIER: A Nintendo Wii. Who doesn’t like the option to play games of various genres, whilst waving your hands in the air – not to mention that spinning the globe in search of international weather and news causes amusement and delight every time.
HEALTHIER: Wii Fit (plus Balance Board). If it helps you shed weight, great, and if not, maybe you’ll learn a yoga pose or two, and learn where your centre of balance is.
SMARTER: Brain Age for the Nintendo DS. Playing sudokus and solving puzzles makes you better at playing sudokus and solving puzzles.
