Gaming Increases Happiness in the Elderly

Does playing video games make you a happier person? If you are a senior age 63 or older, the answer is probably yes, according to a new study released by North Carolina State University.

Lots of gamers bemoaned the Senior invasion on their pass time-

BUT I thought it was Great.

I hope that their continues to be games developed that senior citizens and all ages can enjoy.
I am glad gaming makes them smile.
I also hope WiiU Sports is one of those titles.

The more people in this Gaming-Ship the more money will be flowing in the Industry for More INNOVATIONS or/and just keeping Console Gaming Healthy.

Gaming can make a person feel young again lol, If I was 80 crippled in my wheel chair and you gave me bioshock to play then I would not even care about my old age because I will be using plasmids.

I don't think I will ever play video games at this age.
I won't play video games after 60.

Not only does it make them smile. It's been proven to help brain activity and hand eye coordination. The American government spends $1.2 million a year for such research. which i think is great. For both the gaming community and the elderly. To bad republicans are demonizing the research. I think they honestly would sell out there own mother for there political gains. Sad.

As much as the "younger" generation wants to hate on the "old" people for playing video games, I think this is actually pretty damn cool.

GreenRanger4062d ago

Playing games is good for the elderly.
It keeps their minds off their impending doom.

Anything that takes your mind off the dull reality of life will do that.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.

Hey! Gods suffer from obesity and diabetes too!

Blastoise3h ago

This is the dumbest article I've read in a long time.

Michiel19893h ago

No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.

Crows902h ago

Exactly. Not even sure they're necessarily committing to body diversity either.

The designs look fine not stupid.

Inverno1h ago

The writer of the this article clearly doesn't know what a real god looks like and has never seen them /s

Tody_ZA1h ago

Thanks for bringing up a bunch of garbage thoughts that never crossed my mind when playing the first game because I was too busy playing the game to worry about the portrayal of the physical bodies of gods.

Foolish me, when I read the title I thought we were talking about game mechanics.

Piss off, honestly, with this asinine bottom of the barrel try-hard-to-be-relevant trash.
