Are Game Good for Your Health?

I like to play games and always heard that playing video games for too long isn't good for you. I've also read that video games are one of the reason for obesity and aggresion. However reading this article (link below) I learned that video games are actually healthy and good for you. They said that action games could sharpen vision and may even cure amblyopia. Amblyopia is also know has "Lazy eye". To cure this, doctors would suggest to wear an eye patch over your good eye, but researchers at Nottingham University found out that one hour of playing video games can achieve what eye pathces do in 400 hours. Another good thing about video games is that tetris can increase your brain efficiencey if played 30 minutes a day over a theree month period. Playing tetris develop a thicker cortex. Playing the Wii also help people with parkinson and some Wii games have prvoen to help surgeons make less mistake and give them a warm up before going into surgerory. http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/10/27/gaming.health.senses/index.html
