Brain Stimulation and Video Games

Yesterday as i was watching my roommate, who will stay nameless to keep his pride in tact, was playing a kids video game and i had a realization that there was a lot of things to remember in the video game. For instance, what level had which puzzle pieces or how many times you had to attack an opponent to defeat him. I realized that video games can help people to stimulate their brain.
As i searched the internet for research on this subject i found this:

This website describes an experiment that confirms my initial thoughts.

  1. There is no shame in playing video games when you have nothing better to do. Of course, there are things that should take precedence like school, work, and women. Besides, stimulating your brain with a video game is better than doing drugs, right? Oh, and Parabelle rocks!

  2. Video games are better than drugs, that is for sure. But how many people have done drugs because video games suggested them?

    Kids can play whatever video games they want if they are uplifting and good for them. It is when they play games that encourage them to to bad things is when there is a huge controversy.
