I've heard that many games improve reaction. Have any of you noticed that reaction got better after playing games ? Which games (ps3, xbox ...ps2 ....) couldmake reaction better ? I know it's a silly question but anyway :)

u know what, i think it can... i think i snap faster than i used to :P j/k but seriously, i think there's a certain growth in reaction times. I don't think people can learn to have better reflexes (that's almost silly to even say), but i think like most innate human abilities, it could be developed with training... and i think games provide that... you must keep in mind though, that even if you are capable to react quicker than you used to, you play a game with your hands, the rest of your body isn't being trained. I think to truly have better reflex the whole body and mind must be put through rigorous training... I say all this based on nothing, as i'm not educated in this field, but i can't be too far from the truth...

No. Games improve reasoning and the ability to multi-task. Play any FPS with a Search and destroy mode.
