Well they did say that surgeons make better..uh..surgeons due to playing video games. Cant recall what kind but, you could google it. I don't think I'm going to be a surgeon however since most physicians will be bent over due to Obama's health care in 2010 :)

It improves reaction time of the Mind. Its also True that in some people
it does the exact opposite,like me.
if i step away from games for 5 days and go back to them i'm top stuff. maybe 3 hours later i have a hard time finding that guy with the sniper rifle.
just like if i drink caffeine i'm a sleep 30 minutes later.
