Games do benefit in some ways, not all games are games, take for example Brain Age for the Nintendo DS. Sharpens your mind if you play daily for just 5-10 minutes. That's edutainment.

As for simulations, games like GT/Forza/CMR MAY simulate a driving experience you can't get with your SLK(small little kancil), hence the quote from forza "if you hit the breaks while taking a corner, you'll most likely end up dead". I don't cite NFS cause there was a kid who took his dads Merc up to blazing speeds, got caught, and cops found NFS in passenger seat doh.gif

Video games like from a modified Duck Hunt, Halo, and Doom has been used to military training before. America's Army too. The future army of super soldiers would be geeks w/ keyboard and mouse hidden in a bunker 50ft underground.

I would go on more, but I think that's enough example nod.gif

rather than read a book,listen to music,watch a movie,look at pictures, i'd rather game.

when you read a book,you are just reading.
when you watch a movie,you are just watching and listening
when you listen to music,you are only listening
when you look at pictures,you are just looking at something.

but when you game,you HAVE to read, you HAVE to watch and LISTEN,and you HAVE to give your full attention to it,or else you'd miss some minor details which would probably be catastrophic later on.

gaming is a complete package,regardless if it is handheld with petty graphics or next gen with amazing graphics,all those mentioned above still hold true.

you dont get this many things from books/music/etc..

and in some instances, you HAVE to use your imagination to solve puzzles as well as strategise

dont forget,surgeons play games as well,and studies have shown that surgeons who DO play games,have a better response time,and make fewer mistakes than those who DONT play games.

LOL, let's just hope them surgeons aren't playing Trauma Center.. If not.. mati oh the patient kena quick-knife shocking.gif

But good take on the books/movies reference Mgsrulz, while a Pirates 3 movie would last you 3 hours, the game would last you.. um.. more than 3 hours? laugh.gif You get the story, you get to participate(play) in it, HECK, maybe you can even alter the story just because you are playing it. Where else, movies and books are all written and set in stone nod.gif
