What video game was proven to increase brain power?
Video games are good for you. I'm not sure how many times I made that argument to my mom (and still do), but it's a high number.
And now, thanks to science, we can say it's been proven true. Take that mom!
Of course, it was just one study about one game, but hey, we'll definitely take it. I'm sure since you've been playing video games your whole life, you'll get this one right.

Correct Answer: Tetris
The answer is: Tetris. Researchers from Mind Research Network in Albuquerque, New Mexico, combined brain imaging technology with Tetris to find out if the classic game increases gray matter. Their research led to the conclusion that playing Tetris does, in fact, lead to a thicker cortex and may also boost brain efficiency. It really gives a whole new meaning to the idea of having mental blocks.Source
