Game Genre's

I think I am most interested in the puzzle genre because that one would most reflect players using math to solve and logic.  I think the game should require quick response since this is developmental math for K-12 students.
The game i like most that did use the puzzle genre was "Punctuation Dawn".  I thought it was a neat way to learn the various elements of the english language.  Actually, it was a good refresher course on sentence structure.  I loved the turrets in the game that defeated the "invading horde".
I did not like the game FRETS.  I have no idea what educational value it represents.  It looks like a dulled up version of Guitar Hero that is impossible to play and the graphics are too simple, even for a novice at computers.  The directions leave a lot to be desired.
This post was supposed to happen yesterday but I had some technical difficulties as usual.(My brain doesn't function well sometimes!)  Tell me what you thought about those games if you played them, would love to hear your comments and bounce ideas back and fourth to each other.
