I am a big fan of nonviolent puzzle games, which scaffold creative
problem solving skills. These games promote the development of logical
reasoning and deep reasoning. Emotionally, they generate Endorphin
highs rather than Adrenaline rushes.

Among my favorite puzzle games are The Incredible Machine, Three in 3,
Fool's Errand, The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain, Myst, and Riven.
