Video games are good ... or bad ... or addictive ... or fun ... or the bane of society ... or something that brings people together ... or helps surgeons perform well ... or makes people lose their jobs and fail at school ...

Ok. So what gives? If you'd like to know, join me at a talk at the PIAT Conference at the Dominican University (PDF Download) this Saturday, March 18th.
