Research: Gaming Makes You Smart
By: Nikhil Singh   |   Dec 26, 2006
Gamers are smarter than Non-Gamers, and this article proves just that. The McMaster University in Hamilton is conducting studies on the effects of video-gaming on the brain, by hooking up gamers and non-gamers with a brain scan, and comparing their brain activity while they perform different memory manipulation tasks. Although all the data collected hasn’t been analyzed yet, this is what Jim Karle, a psychology graduate student who's running the experiments, said:

"Overall, there's definitely differences in the brain activity between the two groups.

It seems in some instances that video gamers don't have to activate as many resources as non video gamers - which would make sense, if they're finding the task easier, they probably don't have to work quite as hard."

Yeah! Gaming improves the hand to eye Co-ordination, and also by playing Many games at a time and being able to easy switch between control schemes also Is a great exercise.

And games like God hand Really tests ones Patience and Perseverance. It taught me to NEVER give up and keep trying! Really(not joking at all) It took me 1hour 40 Mins to beat a boss! and In the end when I DID beat it, I beat it so hard that I didnt use any health power up or anything everything dead i a crazy frenzy of involuntary actions of combo attacks!
