Known for improving your visual acuity or your short-term memory, some video games may have a negative counterpart on your cognitive system. Surprisingly, a new study shows that games that make the player look around and search for solutions, such as platformers or puzzle games (like Birdy Party, what a coincidence!), improve a particular zone of our brain, while FPSs do the opposite. The consequences of playing these shooters games may go as far as depression, schizophrenia or even Alzheimer.
