Last week saw the release of Final Fantasy XIII, which set nerds, gay and straight, on high alert. Many of my friends were already hours into the game by the time it fired up on our PS3.
Guess what? Playing games is good for you, even if you never leave the couch! I’ve included a link for the best workout games below, but right now I want you to consider mental fitness. That’s right, tone your brain!
Playing video games have shown positive effects on cognitive health (awareness, perception, reasoning, and judgment). Gaming is also said to improve empathy (playing with or against others), alleviate stress, improve hand-eye coordination, enhances the learning process, boosts imagination and even provides a distraction from snacking / overeating.
A ton of celebs, from Jack Black, the members of New Found Glory, Samuel L. Jackson, Zooey Deschanel, and superstar athletes like Marshall Faulk and John Cena are all celebrity gamers.
