How games are good for you
As a contrast to the bloodbath that is the latest Jack Thompson "Modest Proposal" game, here's a look at the positive side of video games. From cognitive improvement to exercising while you play, the diverse nature of games means a diverse nature of benefits.
This essay (hit the "Read" link) delves into the details, and it's a good read, especially when put next to the efforts of anti-game campaigners. As the author concludes, perhaps those efforts would be better spent taking advantage of the many positive aspects of games, rather than trying to change our society to reject games entirely.
