As the article notes, this may be news to people who don't play video games, but researchers are reporting that the use of these games improves learning. The author focuses mostly on "American pop science writer" Steven Johnson along with MIT Arcade and James Paul Gee. Mentioned are two of my favorite games, Sim City and Civilization (the two of which I have played almost incessantly over the years, though recently I have been recreating the Montreal Expos 2005 season on EA Baseball).
