By the age of thirty, the brain starts to age and deteriorate. Mental stimulation is necessary arrest the deterioration and to minimize the effects of brain aging that often leads to mental disorders like dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Playing video games is one of the best activities to maintain mental sharpness.

A couple of studies have discovered that action video games train the brain to better process certain visual information while strategy-based games seem to improve the more complex thought processes that tend to wane as we age. Interestingly, Shoot-'Em-Up' Video games have been shown to increase teenagers' science knowledge.
