Crap News: Disabled people play video games

Gids | 11:24 UK time, Thursday, 12 June 2008

A US has revealed disabled people can't get enough of casual video games!

Compared to the casual gamer population as a whole... those with
disabilities play more frequently, for more hours per week, and for longer periods of time

Is that really surprising? It's not like we've got anything else to do ;-)

Alledgedly:

More Than 10% Have Had Casual Games Prescribed or Recommended By A Doctor

Behold; the power of video games which apparantly provide:

distraction from infirmities, as well as a sense of accomplishment or
belonging

Even so, if the NHS were to take this up, I'm not sure the market could withstand casual games at £7.10 a pop from your local pharmacy.

Now excuse me whilst I take my daily prescription of Tetris...
