Video Games with Shooting May Improve Eyesight

anthemaniac writes "Playing video games that involve firing guns (Gears of War, Halo, take your pick) can improve eyesight, according to a new study. From the article: 'People who started out as non-gamers and then received 30 hours of training on first-person action video games showed a substantial increase in their ability to see objects accurately in a cluttered space, compared to non-gamers given the same test.' The games push the brain to the limit, the thinking goes, and it adapts by developing better spatial resolution. The effect was not duplicated in more sedate games like Tetris."

Exactly why I want to make a MMORPG FPS combo. I think MMOGS need to have guns, and I think they need to break down the physics a bit more. I want to cast Pyroblast 27 and get a headshot!
