On a more serious note, it is been known for quite some years that computer games have a positive effect for some groups. Allegedly, kids suffering from ADHD can develop methods to maintain concentration in order to improve at some computer games. (Although, with the video above, one has to wonder if this is true.)

I do not doubt that some video games are good therapy, but some are the exact opposite.
