Right now I'm about to buy a strategy game, but other than that I've been actually looking for other games that stimulate the brain.

I'm tired of all the mindless games that I've been playing, Battlefield, Call of Duty, etc.

Now I'm looking for games that actually develop the way you think, your decision making, and reflexes(mental) under pressure.

Sure it sounds crazy, but it's what I'm looking for.

So what games fit this description? It can be any genre, as long as it fits the bill.

Did you play Portal 1 & 2? They make you think. A little at least.

No other game in recent memory has made my head work as much as Misadentures of PB Winterbottom. Braid is a nice choice. You may want to check out Frozen Synapse as well, which is a strategy game.

Arma 2 is tactical, but its more of a simulator. Civilization is a great world building strategy game. Hitman Blood Money is also a great thinking game, every level is just a huge puzzle with multiple ways to complete.

Action RPG FPS that definitely requires thinking and skills. Solid atmosphere, great variety and decent graphics. This is not a noob or the usual console bassed, crap, it is solid PC.
