Usually I see games being blamed for all kinds of societies ills...

I once had someone tell me "Video games are one step above pornography!." I really didn't know how to respond and I put my head down and kept on walking. I was in Oklahoma, a stranger in a strange land, just trying to make a living. Grand Theft Auto 3 was all the rage at the time and people were pissed off about video games. Looking back, video games should have been the least of our concerns.

Its nice to see articles portraying games in a more positive light. This one doesn't have a lot of depth but hey it doesn't make us out to be purveyors of filth. Video games can actually make you smarter...
