clipped from uk.gamespot.com European parliament report states “games can be used for educational purposes and contribute to the development of knowledge and various skills crucial in the 21st century.” A report to be published by the European Parliament on video games looks likely to heavily promote the positive sides of gaming, according to a draft seen by GameSpot.
