Well, this makes a pleasant change from the usual āgames will KILL BABIESā argument. The European Union have got together and decided that video games are actually rather good for the kids.
Spearheaded by Dutch lawmaker Toine Manders, the report found that āVideogames are in most cases not dangerous and can even contribute to the development of important skillsā, and that they also can ā[stimulate] learning of facts and skills such as strategic reflection, creativity, cooperation and a sense of innovationā.
All good stuff, that.
