I have always leaned towards what has been called "edutainment." Games are great learning tools. Some games develop hand-eye coordination (DDR, Game Cube, etc) while others help players brush up on facts.
A little while back, I tried out FreeRice.com and I truly enjoyed it. FreeRice tests players on vocabulary. The reward for selecting the correct synonym is a donation of 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. Another one I've found is FreeFlour.com. FreeFlour works similarly to FreeRice, but gives flour for knowing geographical information. I really enjoyed playing both of these games. I consider both of these games win-win situations.
