Let’s face it: gaming has a bit of a bad rap. Lots of people think that video games “rot the brain,” or that they’re only about whether you can react quickly to certain events on the screen. However, there are actually plenty of games that will challenge your mind and let you sharpen the old gray matter; you just have to know where to look.

One of my favorite bands from my youth was The Moody Blues (still is). They were the champions of “concept albums” - collections of songs, poetry, and instrumental pieces that told a story or addressed an idea through music. The relevant quote that comes to mind is taken from their album “In Search of the Lost Chord” from 1968.

“Thinking is the best way to travel.”
