Thought this might interest some of you: A study published in the journal Current Biology and carried out by the University of Rochester, New York, has concluded that playing fast paced shoot-em-up video games can actually help you in real world decision making.
They used two fast paced games Call of Duty 2 and Unreal Tournament (
 ) to test their theory. They started with a group of 18 to 25 year old non-gamers and divided them in half. They had the first group play 50 hours of COD and UT and the second group play 50 hours of a slow moving strategy game, Sims 2.They then gave both groups a series of tests and they found that the first group performed 25% better at decision making. One of the co-authors said, "...It's not the case that the action game players are trigger happy and innacurate - they are just as accurate and also faster...".

After reading some of the depressing and episodic this-game-is-dead posts which crop up like clock-work on this site  it's nice to see Unreal Tournament get a mention in the mainstream media. Cheers. ------------- Do you realize that in about forty years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tatoos and pierced navels? O.o |

^^^^ lol not really much decision making in golf aside from choosing which club to use...and u hv all day to do it haha thats more muscle memory, so if uv spent more time on ut3 (less golfn) then ur muscle memory, will slowly get worse resulting in ur lower scores....or ur just a noob :P ------------- http://www.enjin.com/bf3-signature-generator" rel="nofollow">
