For this Attention Deficit lifestyle where gaming has already reduced attention spans to nano-seconds, comes this "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" suggestion. How about gaming mashups? There you are playing Grand Theft Auto, when out of nowhere, the screen changes and you're in the middle of Assassin's Creed (at the same level, with points intact, of course). In the flash of eye, you've got to figure out where you are, what the rules are, and keep going. No boredom here.
