On the website http://www.bbc.co.uk/ i found an article expressing positive thoughts on video games and this is what they said:
Teenagers learn more from video games than from books, a survey suggests.
Research found youngsters learned more effectively from information presented in audio visual form such as a video game than from facts printed on the page.
SonyPlaystation commissioned the study on 13-14 year olds. Psychologist Dr David Lewis, who carried outthe study, discovered more than three-quarters absorbed facts contained in an historical video game as oppesed to just more than half who were preseted with the same informationin written form.
Dr Lewis used MediEvil 2, a games set in Victorian Times, to test children.
