Sadly this fact is true but what these reseacrhers fail to mention is that all repeated stimulus will affect the developing brain. The young brain is very plastic and new neural connections grow constantly between stimuli and responses. It saddens me to see reseacrh used to push an agenda. Thats why we need to question the vallidity of many "proven scientific facts"Andy Chalk said:Report: Effects of Gaming Worse Than "Smoking on Lung Cancer"
"Psychologists say regular exposure to games like these actually rewires a child's brain, making them more amenable to violence," the report adds. "Such is the level of concern now, the world's leading researchers have been summoned to Sydney for a conference later this month."

You should be the public face of games and gamers because you, sir, are awesome.as if Australia's Imperial Mage clapped his hands and sent forth his drakes to call the wizards of the council to his dark tower
And also, why does nobody consider it a good thing that all the older Rainbow Six games let you create in-depth plans to thwart terrorist attacks and defuse hostage situations?Nova5 said:This isn't surprising in the least. It's almost admirable, in a sick way, just how determined these technophobic old farts are to continue beating their heads against the wall.
Edit: Sorry, bit of an afterthought here, but just to nit-pick. Since when does playing through a level count as 'plotting' a terror attack on civilians? Was there a section where you actively plan out the attack and hand-off orders to your Russian comrades? If so, went completely over my head.
Actually, some people died of dehydration, starvation, sleep deprivation, lack of motivation... okay, I made that last one up because I liked where it was going with the "ation", but otherwise, yeah.vrbtny said:Smoking kills like thousands of people every month, and costs the health service several million quid a year.
Gaming doesn't kill anyone, directly of indirectly. And is very good for the economy.
