Yes, here we go!" said Rosser, sitting in front of a Super Monkey Ball game, which shoots a ball into a confined goal.

Kind of like putting a laser guided bomb through the window of some Muslim cleric's house. Keep practicing boys.

Speaking as a gamer, and someone who went under the knife yesterday morning (angioplasty and a stent), I'd LOVE to have a surgical sim to play with.

I do the gaming thing for a living, but I had no idea it could be taken this far!

Sounds logical in a way. Some video games require skill to complete. Especially some of those arcade games (shooting a target, making sure it is the RIGHT target, and shooting it accurately. I can see this kind of game helping people hone in on their targeting skills). HOWEVER, I never thought about it being useful for surgeons and doctors. If this is the case, cool.

Though, while I play a lot of games, I somehow doubt...I would be a great doctor. Just my opinion. ;-)

About 15 years ago a guy I knew who worked (in a civilian capacity) at the Naval Air Development Center told me that the Navy pilots were encouraged to play video games. They even set up the arcades in the base so that the pilots could take the "cards" with them (back then the games were mainly played on big stand-up machines as opposed to televisions) from station to station. This way, they could continue games in progress without having to start over. The theory was that playing video games enhanced hand-eye coordination.
