Brain Age 2 is around my place somewhere... @Dhsu Haha yeah, I did mean "deconstructing." It's a great game, give it a whirl! @Benjamin I couldn’t agree more that “Games as a means of explicit self-improvement” is a genre that’s not as popular as it should be (Though there *is* that DS game designed to help people quit smoking!).

Decomposing has some morbid connotations... Unfortunately I haven't played the game yet, so I'll have to skip out on offering more productive comments for now! Do you mean “deconstructing”?

One gratifying Zelda sound, and BAM! I wonder how perceptual shift puzzles could help me learn or fix common fallacies I make. Suddenly, I'm getting excited about edutainment games.
