    Yes. Playing games improves our level of concentration and increases thought process.

    Good for the mind, but not for the soul. If you catch my meaning. Rather than raise me as a child (she was juggling 4 kids), my mother let the nintendo and ancient computer (when 33mhz was fast, those were the days). As a result, I was evaluated as "gifted" at 6, but lacking in "moral clarity" basically. I graduated early from high school, but can't relate to people, etc. When I got older and more social I learned to empathize, be sociable, etc., but only because I *changed* my lifestyle.

    I don't know. It's had it's pluses and minuses. There's some study I read that said your cerebrum increases (aka intellect, intelligence) but your frontal lobe (responsible for wisdom and moral clarity) decreases. I kind of agree with that summary as a nintendo baby (started playing megaman/mario at 2 years old). I'm a very "logical" person and have a hard time learning to empathize and use that "heart" thing people talk about. But as a result of religious and social causes in my life, I've become quite caring I suppose. I also notice the more time I spend on the computer/playing games, the more "logical" but also more "antisocial" I become. Common sense really. Has it's pluses and minuses like I said.

    I think playing Game is a good habit but one must keep track of time so that his/her studies might not disturbed due to extensive playing.

    I do not think video or computer games are good for mind because most of them are addicting and you spend a lot more time playing them than you should.

    So, it is not a good idea to play them if you think that they will benefit you. :D

    yes its good for mind, but don't play day night and many hours without stopping, play games for 1-2 hours weekly that helps you to increase your concentration level and sharp your mind. its good but over playing games makes you physco soon ! make your choice !!

    I think it depends on the game you are playing.If you are playing games where you have to think it can help you but i don't think that playing shooter 24 hours a day can improve your mind^^.
