Do video games make you smart?
There's a somewhat off-topic column over at Slate from last week - it's worthy of mention here because Halo 2 is used as an example of a game that leads people to expect more from their entertainment. (The column is a dialogue between Steven Johnson, who believes that TV and video games are causing people to become smarter, by having to follow more intricate storylines, and Dana Stevens, who thinks that the argument is absurd when applied to television, but works for video games.) Thanks, Cornballer. (Louis Wu 19:28:15 UTC)
