Interesting article on the Sydney Morning Herald today. Basically, it confirms what most of us gamers have been claiming all this time. Playing video and computer games gives you an edge in life.

Quote: “Researchers are finding players can make sharper soldiers, drivers and surgeons. Their reaction time is better, their peripheral vision more acute. They are taking risks, finding themselves at ease in a demanding environment that requires paying attention on several levels at once.”

I grew up playing all sorts of games. And in a quest to complete some of them, I enabled cheats or hacked my saved games. Now I cheat and hack my way through in life, accomplishing my goals in record time.
