Videogames = bad?

Another common video-game stereotype held by society is that video-games promote violence - that nothing good can come from them, only violent, bad things.

I'm guessing many of you disagree with this stereotype - so, here's your chance to voice your opinions. What are three positive things that video-games bring to society? Basically, what GOOD are they to us all?

Discuss!

Oh, and a reminder - if you've played any cool games recently, please take a little time to create a review for the game. You can do so under the new "Reviews!" section of the blog - the format for the review is there, too.

Thanks!
