[li]Improving Your Eyesight: Playing action games can "sharpen visual acuity."[/li]
[li]Stay Young: Four hours of gaming a week improves reaction times, reasoning and short-term memory.[/li]
[li]Losing Weight: Nintendo's Wii requires some legitimate exercise.[/li]
[li]Recuperation: Right alongside laughing, games can be one of man's best potions.[/li]
