    Hi,

    I am looking for Stimulation games, but not the type of game Stimulation such as flying,trains,etc.

    I am looking for games that help with brain Stimulation.
    Anything at all, everything is appreciated.


    Thank You

    Chess is pretty good for that.

    'Papers, Please' maybe? Some find it boring and tedious but I enjoyed it.

    I find lots of games Stimulating. Strategy games are great for it. Turn based combat, etc. Makes you think.

    I'm currently playing a lot of Hearthstone which is a turn based card game. It's fun but you have to concentrate. Puzzle games like Professor Layton or Brain training which are both on the DS.

    Dark Souls, it's the game that fits every "recommend me a game" thread :pac:

    Might stimulate in the wrong way though

    Chess is pretty good for that.

    I think any turn based tactical RPG would work. Xcom and Valkyria chronicals spring to mind.

    Thanks a lot guys, amazing games here and chess also worked.

    E.G: Lets say you became very tired or dizzy, and you needed a game that wakes you up (but not mmorpgs,battlefield and all that stuff), just general more brain games such as chess,Brain N-Back,etc... even a find wally jigsaw really triggers that part,

    any other suggestions please?. mainly to get that focus (a game/activity) that you can focus in and zoom in on and do it. ( but not general video games

    Thank You very much

    I am playing stealth inc at the moment. As its christmas I tend to find I like playing it in the morning as its a non stressfull but mentally taxing game so its perfect to wake me up.

    Civ is a dangerous game though. You start in the morning and the next time you look up to check the time its bedtime. Would definitely reccomend portal 1/2 (its in the same vein as stealth inc). To add I would also suggest Quantum Conundrum. The lead designer of Portal directed it (and it shows) so if you like portal I think you would like it also.

    You can also play dominion online...either against bots or people at (http://www.goko.com/games/Dominion)

    Its a deck building card game. Personally its one of my favourites. (although the online version is free, you don't get to choose the starting deck from which to build from)

    Fear, anger, frustration, desolation, loneliness, temptation to smash controller. but also utter joy, hilarity, accomplishment, exhilaration.

    It's the game that keeps on giving :pac:
