Video gaming increased size in brain regions for spatial orientation, memory formation and strategic planning as well as fine motor skills
Playing the Super Mario 64 video game causes increased size in brain regions responsible for spatial orientation, memory formation and strategic planning as well as fine motor skills, a new study conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and Charité University Medicine St. Hedwig-Krankenhaus has found.

The positive effects of video gaming may also be useful in therapeutic interventions targeting psychiatric disorders.

To investigate how video games affect the brain, scientists in Berlin asked 23 adults (mean age: 24) to play the video game “Super Mario 64” on a portable Nintendo XXL console over a period of two months for 30 minutes a day. A control group did not play video games.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Yeah if you play all day, other parts of the brain may become stunted

Too bad however, that the body becomes weak and obese.
You can always spot a gamer a hundred yards away due to pale skin color and fatness.

That applies to 90% of the population who rots in front of their TVs too.

I used to tell my kids that if they could beat Mario, they could also play chess, memorize parts for plays, etc., but all they wanted to do was the video games.

It definitely boosts visualization skills. It helped a lot when I was taking organic chemistry and had to visualize different molecules.

Perhaps....but think about who designs those games? Look at our current police force who were raised on them...see any connections?
