Computer games can be good for kids says research

A survey has shown that playing computer games can sharpen up a child's mind, can improve classroom behaviour and improve their maths skills.

It might shut up those people who constantly want to have a pop at the computer games industry or those who play games regularly. And with recent evidence showing that regularly playing on a Nintendo Wii can be beneficial in both keeping you fit, helping you lose wight and sharpening up reflexes, perhaps the rather outmoded view that all computer games are bad might just go away.
