I find video games definitely get the brain working, much in the same way as playing chess or other board games, thinking about problems, etc... Definitely more 'active' than consuming (most) media. I'd even theorize that video games have become so popular because our brains need some sort of conflict and stimulation; now that we're sedentary and no longer concerned with daily survival and conflict with the natural world/other tribes.
