Hmm well it seems I am on a roll ... add this to the other one!

"A recent Oxford study (2009) suggests Tetris-like video games may help prevent the development of traumatic memories. If the video game treatment is played soon after the traumatic event, the preoccupation with Tetris shapes is enough to prevent the mental recitation of traumatic images, thereby decreasing the accuracy, intensity, and frequency of traumatic reminders. "We suggest it specifically interferes with the way sensory memories are laid down in the period after trauma and thus reduces the number of flashbacks that are experienced afterwards," summarizes Dr. Emily Holmes, who led the study"

Here is a link to free tetris, in case you have any traumatic experiences:

Its Z and X to rotate the shapes, arrow keys to move them down, left or right :)
