If You Have a Bigger Brain You're Probably a Better Gamer

[Ironsouled]

Lessee... Part of it would be the skill and intellect but well.. .I plan on becoming a doctor and have the grades and smarts for it and am good (note good, not great) at most video games, but I'm not really goal motivated. I guess I like seeing myself at the top of the kills list in my wonderful Halo 3 or L4D2 but its not what drives me to play the game, nor do I feel as if I haven't enjoyed the game simply because I'm not head honcho.

Of course, I seem to be the only one in my group of friends that plays MW2 that actually looks for claymores and such (possibly because I'm uing that and the Barret? snipe camps FTW)
but just because I have caution doesn't mean it stops several of my friends I kill with mines repeatedly from UMPing my sorry butt.

My vote. Yes, the brain plays A role... how important one though... thats still up for discussion.

Makes sense. My IQ is probably 120-130 and I am at least decent at any game (As in I can go through the first few objectives without trouble)
On the other hand, my cousin needs me to get him past almost everything that requires timing a jump, surviving more enimies than you can hit at once, or a puzzle, and he shares the intelligence level of a melon.

I take games as an opportunity do not have to think. I play games on the easiest settings, and when presented with a challange will often opt out altogether.
If I feel like applying myself, I can beat the harder difficulties, but I'm not particularly attracted to the meager rewards of completing the toughest challanges. I just want to play.

Makes sense. I have a high IQ( not bragging or anything )and pick up game basics very easy,like in battlefield bad company 2 I learned to fly the helicopter extremely easy unlike my friend who hardly took off the ground before exploding.
