I bet your all thinking " Oh no a thread made by kave!" but this is an interesting article.

"Games are good for you." Says Yahoo! making an article about how video games are "good" for you.

1. They can improve your Eye Sight. True

another is: They can Help you Understand Classic Literature. true as well games like Warcraft, Fable and such will help ( Even tho WoW messed with the lore ><)

Re: Games are good for you

I attribute much of my skill and understanding of computers to playing video games as a child. There are a lot of problem solving exercises in games.

If it weren't for computer gaming, my English would be nowhere near what it is today. Sure, school did something, but when we were to learn something in class, I probably knew it already.

I love this part

Past video game play in excess of 3 h/wk correlated with 37% fewer errors (P<.02) and 27% faster completion (P<.03). Overall Top Gun score (time and errors) was 33% better (P<.005) for video game players and 42% better (P<.01) if they played more than 3 h/wk. Current video game players made 32% fewer errors (P=.04), performed 24% faster (P<.04), and scored 26% better overall (time and errors) (P<.005) than their nonplaying colleagues. When comparing demonstrated video gaming skills, those in the top tertile made 47% fewer errors, performed 39% faster, and scored 41% better (P<.001 for all) on the overall Top Gun score. Regression analysis also indicated that video game skill and past video game experience are significant predictors of demonstrated laparoscopic skills.

From the linked AMA article Arch Surg -- Abstract: The Impact of Video Games on Training Surgeons in the 21st Century, February 2007, Rosser et al. 142 (2): 181

Next time you visit the doctor ask them if they play video games. If they don't you might want to consider getting another one.

That's interesting. I'd like to see someone reject their doctor because they don't play gears of war... :lol:

Least its good to see games getting praise instead of abuse for once.
