Game news

Hi all,

I see a news about game.
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2009/04/65719049/1

It gave us some statistics about how many kids play games - 88%. Boys played 14 hours per week, and girls play 9 hours. So, it is kind of a solid evidence that kids spent time on games.

Unfortunately, this report is showing some negatives - additive behavior. However, there are still some interesting questions for us. This research pointed out some attention problems with kids. Why? Maybe it is related to the kind of games they played. If that is the case, maybe we can minimize those kind of games design in educational games.
