Earlier today, my local news did a report regarding gaming's benefits.

The number of gaming related injuries, at least in the UK, are up, but all those hours in front of the TV may not be a waste of time. They may be a good training ground for a career in the military. Research done by the Navy finds video games can help adults process information much faster. Gaming also improves their reasoning and problem solving skills. The researchers are now looking at ways to integrate video game technology into learning tools.

Notice the Navy part of it. Gee, military, gaming, what game could they have used? Modern Warfare 2?

WRONG!

The entire spot used gameplay from Halo 3: ODST. Guess the game isn't quite irrelevant yet. Thought I share with you guys.

To see the video, scroll down and wait until the end. It should have an AT&T logo on the screen.

That's pretty cool. But maybe they were just using ODST as a video game example during the video. They didn't say the navy was actually using the game.

Yeah, I just said the website's article mentioned the Navy and I drew a conclusion there.

I don't expect them to use modern warfare 2, the game itself is too realistic to what their doing now in service to our great country (U.S.A.).
