SUBSTANCE!? CONTENT!? WHAT'S THAT!?




The Exiled Realm of Arborea, Final Fantasy XIV, Star Wars The Old Republic, The Secret World...


What do these MMOs have in common?


Could it be the lack of engaging story that may be a total snooze fest? possible.

Could it be the lack of content? Maybe.

Could it be an abundance of content, but more of the same old thing? Possibly.

Could it be that it was trying to be different but failed? Sorta.

Video games with lots of action, such as the shoot-'em-up variety, can improve your vision, a new study finds.

Players became up to 58 percent better at perceiving fine contrast differences in the tests.

"If you are driving at dusk with light fog it could make the difference between seeing the car in front of you or not seeing it," study leader Daphne Bavelier told LiveScience.

The ability to discern slight differences in shades of gray, or contrast sensitivity, is the primary limiting factor in how well one sees, said Bavelier, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester.

"Normally, improving contrast sensitivity means getting glasses or eye surgery—somehow changing the optics of the eye," she said. "But we've found that action video games train the brain to process the existing visual information more efficiently, and the improvements last for months after game play stopped."

The new finding suggests action video game used as training devices may be a useful complement to eye-correction techniques, Bavelier said, since it may teach the brain's visual cortex to make better use of the information it receives.
