1. Food Force

Simulate real relief efforts in Food Force

A major crisis has developed in the Indian Ocean and the United Nations is sending you on a mission to help feed the millions of people who are going without food!

Start by scoping out the problem with an air assessment and then start building a plan to resolve the glaring issues. Move from seeing the problems to doing strategic drops to solve the problem and finally build a long range farming plan to keep the people well fed. The goal is simple... help free people from the pangs of hunger.

A great kids game with a great message!

Are you tired of seeing your kids playing games that have questionable content and even worse, teach bad values? Food force is definately an exception to the shoot em up games out there. Designed by the United Nations, the premise of the game is to try and stop world hunger by strategic planning (though luck seems to be a bigger contributer to success than skill at times...)

You will find your kids will enjoy trying to figure out ways to make sure everyone can eat. The game is pretty large, so make sure you have a good connection before downloading.

Download Food Force today for your kids and begin more dialogue about important themes such as love, respect and generosity.

Medical Tip: "A study of 33 laparoscopic surgeons found that those doctors who played Computer games were 27 percent faster at advanced surgical procedures and made 37 percent fewer errors compared to those who did not play Computer games (Gentile, 2008)"

Medical Tip: "A second study of 303 laparoscopic surgeons (82 percent men; 18 percent women) also showed that surgeons who played Computer Games requiring spatial skills and hand dexterity and then performed a drill testing these skills were significantly faster at their first attempt and across all 10 trials than the surgeons who did not the play Computer Games first."

3. Crayon Physics

Build Whatever It Takes

In Crayon Physics every scribble and doodle comes to life as you work to solve a variety of interesting and complex puzzles. Using a unique physics system, every object you doodle with your crayon pointer reacts realistically once you trace them on the paper. Right angles become brackets, braces, and even fulcrums as you construct simple machines and find the simplest, or most complex, way of getting to the finish.

It's All About the Physics

The actual gameplay idea is quite simple with your goal being to work your way through dozens of linked 'island' maps and nudge a small red ball toward a star perched strategically out of reach. It doesn't matter how you get the ball to the star just as long as it gets there.

The game starts out with some rather easy puzzles to solve, with you simply dropping an object on the ball to prod it in one direction, laying straight lines to clear gaps between pillars, and drawing ramps down from platforms. There are dozens of ways to solve each problem and you could easily complete some maps with little more than a block and some lines, or you can construct whatever outlandish Rube Goldberg style machine you want.

Medical Tip: "The big picture is that there are several dimensions on which Computer Games have effects; including the amount they are played, the content of each Game, what you have to pay attention to on the screen, and how you control the motions. Computer Games undeniably are but powerful Educational Tools and have many effects we might not have expected they could “(Gentile, 2008) ."

Creative Gameplay

 

Perhaps the most entertaining aspect of Crayon Physics is this creative flexibility which you can utilize. The levels are both mazes and playgrounds in a sense, and allow you to attack the various conundrums in a variety of ways.

This adds in an immense replay factor as you might find yourself revisiting levels in which you've already found the simplest solution, just to come up with wildly improbable, ludicrous alternatives. With no price tag, you get an enjoyable gaming experience full of challenging puzzles that are sure to leave you stumped.

So if you like puzzle games that will test your creative thinking, download Crayon Physics and flex some mental muscle today!

4. Baseball Mogul 2006

In depth baseball management sim

In Baseball Mogul, you can choose any team from 1900 to 2006 with a full roster of players - or an entirely fictional team of your own creation!

As General Manager (GM), your job is to build the best lineup of players to take your team to the World Series. You can make complex player trades and sign players to multi-year contracts as you build your team but you'll have to compete with the other General Managers and negotiate with the player's agents.

Manage the business well

As GM you also have to manage all the finances for your ball club, making sure that the team doesn't go bankrupt. Raise revenue for your team by setting the price of tickets and concessions, and selling the TV broadcast rights, while you manage your team's expenses by setting the budget for your farm system, player scouts, medical staff, and player payroll. But be careful, because fans can be fickle if your team doesn't win or if your tickets become too expensive!

Medical Tip: "If doctors themselves say that Computer Games are indeed beneficial, it is as well equally true for our young children. As early as 3 years old, our kids should be exposed in this kind of activity. Parents should bear in mind that educational Computer Games for children are designed based on the rationale that Computer Games can help with skills such as memorizing, remembering, inducing, deducing, recognizing patterns, solving problems, and mapping"
