Games promote skills

PLAYING video games such as Minecraft and Tomb Raider can help undergraduates gain vital skills and make them more employable, a study suggests. Students develop “graduate attributes” such as critical thinking and problem-solving through gaming. Research from the University of Glasgow contradicts reports which have claimed that some computer games make young people more aggressive. In an eight-week trial, 36 undergraduates were split into a control group and a group that played specific games for a total of 14 hours. Both groups were then tested on their communication ability and resourcefulness skills. – Daily Mail
