But the games that Kobo has packaged are all brain developing apps and help to promote problem solving and abstract thinking. To take that away well.... that's wrong.
What do you mean Angry Birds isn't educational? It teaches ballistics and the importance of proper construction. Plus, other things.

I agree with about the games exercising the brain. But, they are time wasters. When UnblockIt first appeared, I recommended no-one try it as it was black hole for time. I could understand someone blocking their kids from it for that reason.
