Adding to the Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton love. One that might be overlooked due to the fact that it's such an old title is the WarioWare: Touched! -- it's a bunch of really, really mini-games that is kind of addictive.
Oh, Brain Age will also last you some time, as well. But only pick up one of them--I found the first one addictive, but not so much the second one. I think I can only really handle one of them daily.
The guys who did Scribblenauts also did a game called "Drawn to Life," in which you draw your weapons and such. I haven't played it myself yet, but it also got reasonably good critical reviews, although nothing nearly as enthusiastic as Scribblenauts.
Ooh, ooh, and yes, Elite Beat Agents. This is a game in which an elite squad of Men in Black need to dance to a Jamiroquai song to encourage the son of an auto magnate to ninja suit up and recover his dad's blueprints from a rival corporation. They will also have to dance to Ashlee Simpson to get a white blood cell to fight off a cold. Seriously. Even if you're not into rhythm gaming much, the scenarios they present are so wildly OTT that you can't really help but love it.
