EMPIRE EARTH HEAVEN
Video Gamers have "Spider Sense"

I have become quite tired with everyone blaming violent games for the aggressive nature of kids. I can't count the endless times I saw GTA3 mentioned harming kids in some way. So it is finally nice to see a study that looked at the positive side of video games. According to a recent study, action video gamers, "have much better visual skills than most of the population". Seeing how I play extreme amounts of Medal of Honor and BF1942 that must mean I have better eyes than anyone I know.

In a way this article makes complete sense to me. I can remember my brother looking across my shoulder as I sniper a guy's millimeter head in a church tower a mile away and asking me how in the world did I see him. Be sure to read the full article here.
