More Useful Gaming

Here are two instances of video games helping people in real and dangerous situations. This first one is a post from GotGame about a child who survives a moose attack and the second is a man who saves a a crash victim's life. These are both "violent" games that have ended up helping people rather than hurting them.

12-year-old Hans Olsen saved himself and his sister from a charging moose using World of Warcraft hunter moves. More here at GotGame.com

That same month Paxton Galvanek saved two men at a car crash scene using medical training he received from the FPS America's Army. He had no prior medical training or knowledge and treated a serious wound to the driver. More here at Gamervision.com
