That was kind of what I was talking about though. The last game that intellectually stimulated me was Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and even then, only from a problem solving perspective, rather than on any deep or stimulating level. I can understand how even a mindless game can impart a useful operative skill (Touhou is almost completely plotless, but the things it does to your sense of spacial awareness and peripheral perception are insane), I just feel like 90% of modern games don't actually challenge the player in a way that encourages that kind of development. They're like summer blockbuster movies. Designed to be easy to digest and not challenge the audience too much.
