"TORONTO (CP) - Video games have been maligned by many as 'a mindless activity,' but playing them may be good for the brain, says a researcher who is conducting studies on the possible benefits." Full article here.

The work is in its early stages, and so far he's studied 30 men who play video games and 30 others who don't, all aged between 19 and 36. He didn't enrol women in the study, suggesting it would have been more difficult to find enough who play the sort of first-person shooters and action games that he was focusing on, including "Medal of Honor" and "Half Life 2."
