wondering, as i've been playing about 90 minutes of robotron, and i feel just exhausted after doing it, mostly mentally. i looked online, and all that i've found is the average is from 75 up to 248 which was measured on wii boxing. but for something that taxes the shit out of your brain, i wonder where mentally demanding games put you on the chart.
 
depends on the game, there was a boxing game (sorry i don't remember the name) where u put each hand in a joystick and yea... you get the idea.. it was definitely a work out on the arms.

not to mention i saw many a ddr kids lose god knows how many pounds in sweat drenched shirts.... disgusting yes but hey i guess it's exercise lol.
