Who has done a good job of designing a video game to produce health benefits?

Skipping the Wii, mostly looking for info on games that provide health benefits that are distributed as downloadable content or as browser-based games.
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Not sure where you are going with this one.

If you want to exercise, I'm thinking the only games are WiiFit or perhaps Dance, Dance Revolution which is available for multiple consoles and requires a dance pad.

If you are thinking about health of other people, there is a game called free rice where you can play a game of matching words to their definitions. Doing this donates rice to developing countries.

Or there are programs for donating CPU cycles of your computers to help solve equations dealing with different health topics. The most famous is folding@home. I think the other one is world community grid by IBM. There are undoubtably others.

Perhaps you could refine your question for more direct results? (I'm not being mean here. I'm just trying to help focus the question for better results.)

If you are looking for a browser based game that gets you to exercise, I'm not aware of anything like that.

Nintendo has done the best job. The WII encourages physical exercise while the DS has software for mental chalanges, and they have software on healthy recipes, etc. (Sorry... I answered before reading your description).
