Gaming is good for you!
News here and here suggests gaming could be part of mainstream education in the form of 'lite' versions of popular games. Hopefully now gaming won't be dismissed as mindless entertainment. For your research you could fruitfully investigate the perception of gaming; the tabloids are likely to be outraged at this current suggestion, for example. Although students at Robert Smyth School aren't given the option, OCR's AS Media Studies specification does offer the chance to study games, evidence of a growing (if reluctant) acceptance of the relevance of something already having an impact on audience leisure patterns.
