Most believe that the creativity and imagination play (similar to my generation's blocks, Legos and Lincoln Logs) is great for kids and adults.  I love it!  Of course, "Minecraft Addiction" should be monitored by parents.  Kids need to go outside and play too!

According to the last scientific study I heard ... ANY video gaming is good for the brain, as far as keeping the brain active and engaged.

The older you become game structures,

really do help mental stability.

Even simple games like solitaire or

pinball can aid in keeping your mind sharp.
