Video Games help your mind  

It really depends on what type of video game you're talking about, and what you mean by 'mental stimulation'. Practically everything gives that. A swift kick in the pants causes mental stimulation; it causes reaction from pain receptors, and (hopefully) teaches you an important lesson about what to do to avoid a repeat occurrence.

Some games have been shown to increase hand eye co-ordination, or spatial awareness, or improve problem solving abilities. But then, so do so many things.

if the games is puzzle your brain totally help the games if the games you play is puzzle or other games that educational if your the games you play is not like thats may be is not help your mind? there are so many kind of games i use games when im boring i play games i only hobbies to me to play games play games on my computer or my ds i love playing games my boring has gone when i play the games?

They absolutely do. But I personally do need a reason to play video games, lol. Most of the studies that I've seen are of older people around 60 and above playing video games to sharpen their mind. And it actually works. They soon had the hand-eye coordination of a fifteen year old, lol. It's pretty cool that video games are shown in a positive light for once.

I've been a video game fan for years and I do believe it helps peoples minds as well as mine. I feel that people who play video games have the ability to have a sharper and quicker mind from them. I feel it can help you in school as well as everyday life.

Hey how did you put them links in your post? Is it a money maker?

what about a study that says Fighting game and shooting games dont really contribute to real life violence for boys they are like an outlet they help take out they're anger.. virtually. But then again there are stupid people who think they can be JUST like a person in a video game and... kill them-selves.

Most of the Games test our abilities like reflexes, quick decision taking ability, teamwork, strategy, creativity etc.

Soccer and other such sports games test how quick we can think, how creative we can be while we play the game and what kind of strategies do we adopt.

Elements in the games like Age Of Empire, World of Warcraft etc. test our strategy making ability, how we manage our resources, how to optimise our development in game.

As far as shooting games are concerned then games such Counter strike really require good teamwork to win and pushes the players to alter their strategy for every particular map.

So, Games do give our brain a healthy workout.
