49. President Forever
Now you can run the ins and outs of a presidential campaign in the most realistic game of its type. President Forever lets you match George W. Bush against John Kerry. You set the issues. You plan the advertising. You pick the Vice President. And you receive the political glory or fallout in the daily newspapers!
What I loved about President Forever is the ability to pick your stance on issues based on a sliding scale.
For instance, you can set your position on gun control via a sliding scale measuring your position from far left (liberal) to far right (conservative) and a few positions in between including centrist. Your position stances affect the campaign and you will hear an outcry from your support base if you reverse a core party platform position.
"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)"

"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."

In Ant Farm, you will start with an ant farm and try and create a colony with a billion ants. It is going to be tough though. You will have rival colonies, enemy bugs like the ladybug, and the exterminator. You will start in Mr Surburbia's backyard and from there where you go is up to you!
Will you settle in Rose's Garden,Spring Valley Bridge, The Stream, The Field (good to find more battles), The Forest, The Park, Farmer Brown's Farm, The Sidewalk or one of many other locales? This game is not for the serious strategy game enthusiast. It is more geared for a relaxing afternoon to clear your mind and still have a challenge that is fun.
You will have to decide on the types of ants you want to start with and what ratio to start with. You will be able to choose from Leafcutter, Carpenter, Weaver, Harvester, or Fire ants. Depending on the type of ants you choose, you will have to adapt your strategy to acheive your goal. Will you be able to fend off the rivals and reach your goal of 1,000,000,000 ants?
"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) ."

"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"
