Forums - Gaming - Are we getting smarter from video games?

Video takes a while, but it's interesting.

I read Everything Bad is Good for You a month ago. It was a great read.

Only from specific genres: Adventure, Puzzle/Board Games, Strategy.



Video games should be a class in school



Yes. I mean, doing a wheelie while dodging oncoming traffic is a vital skill we learn from Moonview Highway in Mario Kart.



Kimi wa ne tashika ni ano toki watashi no soba ni ita

Itsudatte itsudatte itsudatte

Sugu yoko de waratteita

Nakushitemo torimodosu kimi wo

I will never leave you

I don't thing we are getting smarter from videogames, except from games as Brain Training, Brain academy, all puzzle games.

I don't play video games to get smarter, I play them to have fun!



They do improve things like your peripheral visions, and thanks to CoD, I do notice stuff a lot quicker. However, making you smarter is another thing entirely



Depends on what you mean.

You will be "smarter" if you play video-games than if you just sit and stare into the wall.

You will be smarter if you do your homework.

You will be smarter if you talk to people (unless your friends are total idiots)

You probably will be smarter if you play video games than TV.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

Thanks to Halo 3, I am now able to identify blood.

Its green.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

We probably do get smart from playing video games since I am currently getting High Honors at school.
