Just got home from a short trip during which time I listened to a discussion of the benefits of video games for mind-clearing and mental focus/acuity.
When I was much younger I used to play with games (early in the days of IBM-pc's) but I haven't attempted to do so except to note games like Tetris and similar puzzle games.
I think the people talking were talking about games like Quake and maybe multiplayer, however, and I have no experience with those.
Does anyone here agree that video-gaming is actually good for mental health and acuity? If so, with what games do you have experience and would recommend as a test to see if someone might find them beneficial.
No doubt the best games are paid, but if you're familiar with free versions, please note that as well.
