There's a huge number of interesting games out there. For dungones and dragons fans there's the MMORPG games like Everquest and Worlds of Warcraft. For puzzle-lovers, there's all sorts of stuff. For sports lovers, likewise. While its true that reflexes aren't honed (except thumb-twitching) by most computer games, the military is able to afford high-end physical interface stuff and uses computer simulations training of everything from planes to tanks. They even use war game simulators as advertising for joining the military. There's potential for using MMORPG technology to test and train future teams of people and recently, someone was hired as a technical manager partly due to his online experience as a guild leader in either EQ or WoW.
