Boost Your Brain Power

Hell must have frozen over by now. Surely. Two bits of pro-gaming news in one day? Who would've thought.

Well well well. Today is a fine day; the sun is shining, I recently polished off a smashing chocolate muffin and the news of today is filled with pro-gaming articles. Earlier we found out that playing action games can improve an aspect of adult vision, and it also appears that playing video games will help increase a child’s crucial visual-spatial skills.

In an article in the Metro, a study at the Michigan State University says that video games boost a child’s learning ability, by thinking in pictures an images – abilities that are considered the ‘training wheels’ for performance in science, technology, engineering and maths.

Fantastic isn’t it?
