@avantgame as with all science, the studies were limited to very specific kinds of games and IRL outcomes. -

@avantgame heh. Nope, it was game simulations by and large made for educational purposes. So actually probably like pong with flash cards.

@ScottWBradford she is making a snarly crack about guitar hero not teaching music -
@avantgame well sure, guitar hero doesn't teach the nuances of REAL guitar, but it teaches RHYTHM just fine!
