It sharpens your reflexes, and instant decision making ( decide within a second whether to go left or right? etc.) And enhances manual dexterity.

I think in a rare case some programs can help you out, while I was still in primary school (early 90's) my dad had an Amiga 500 and an Atari and he found some educational games, quite simple stuff compared to today. They were mostly math based with addition and subtraction, but also logic puzzles like the old favourite of getting a fox, sheep and dog across a river in a boat, how many trips, and in what order. The animation was very crude but it was fun and me and my brother took turns on it, and I do think it helped a bit with our schoolwork. However, these are sort of hard to find now, the exception being those Disney film affiliated things, and somehow I'm doubting that's what you're playing. My biggest problem with video games is the complete lack of excercise they promote as well as a lack of social interaction, and both are pretty important not only for school but live outside and beyond school. Try limiting yourself to 2 hours a day and do other stuff, take up a sport, go out, meet kids your age.

I would like to extend this question to PC gaming. These games help people think out of the box. They increase their potential of concentrating on things. They learn new stuff like ..diff. geographical places..new theories of different kind. About history of various world class events.
The winnig also induces self confidence in them along with releiving them from stress of day to day life and takes them intoa new world where they can chage things.
But the problem arises if you get addicted. So a balance needs to be kept all the time.

I play video games because I want to, not because I have to. However, with these two games there are time - dependent obligations that must be fulfilled. Read more

It distracts and entertains. Kids are safer playing video games inside rather than being on the streets. For adults it distracts them from their daily routine!

some video games require a dual stick movement to move the character... one to move his body, and the other to move his head.. this is hard for me.. he he.. but thats a great way to teach direction and eye hand skills.. also fast paced games really teach how to react in fast situations... not all games are great, but there are a ton of strategy games eg. tetris... old school but yes it is strategic... also the missions are like puzzles and being able to figure them out are rewarding.... video games arent as bad as people make them out to be

When weighing teh advantages against the bad effects, the latter score more. They can rob children of their precious study time, though it is mainly for fun only. Children loose physical activity which is very essentail for healthy life.

I really don't see any. You can relax and have fun in healthier ways than staring at a television or computer.
