Pacman & Bloxorz

I played 2 games this evening. The first was the classic Pacman. It's a game that can keep one intrigued and continuing to attempt to win. There's a clear goal and obstacles designed to prevent the player from achieving that goal. That competition is an important characteristic that many good video games possess.

The second game was Bloxorz. This was a math game I found online. Not being a math person, I'm not sure if this directly connects to any specific math content, but it is certainly a skill game that requires thinking on the part of the player. It provides an opportunity for the player to apply problem-solving skills to a situation.
