Out of the three million negative articles on gaming that are published daily, we occasionally get one that is sensible. Here my fellow DP members is such an article.

Quote to hand to your non-gaming family members:

"Video games are not a frivolous expenditure of your time," says Dr. James Rosser Jr., director of Beth Israel Medical Center's Advanced Medical Technology Institute and a gamer since the advent of Pong in the early '70s. "They have an upside if properly utilized."

If a doctor says it, it has to be true! ;)

I doubt Dr. James Rosser Jr. works for MS hehe, but i've read other articles about this. Playing games make you smarter, make you react quicker etc. But playing games 15 hours each day isnt healthy tho hehe.
