It seems that it's not really a question:

What do you guys think about this? I'll be turning 27 this year and yesterday my brother who's half my age beat me in chess. He plays a lot of video games just as I used to when I was younger. I knew this would happen eventually since a younger mind learns faster which I definitely noticed in him.
Could video games help slow down our mental aging process? I can't think of any reasons why not but would love to hear some counter arguments.
Also, it seems that real video games work better for this than "brain training" games (ie lumosity).
