The article Video games encourage creativity
<http://www.ioltechnology.co.za/article_page.php?iArticleId=4837521&am...>
is interesting, not because of any new findings in the study that it
describes, but rather because the study was commissioned by the European
Parliament Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection and
that it endorses games as good for learning.

It's always encouraging when governments take a mature view on video
games, when they recognise "the benefits and no definitive link to
violent behaviour."

The study calls for more parental involvement --- this is obvious and
necessary.

(Thanks Renee for the link!)
