WWE 13 Attitude Era Roster Revealed
THQ recently announced the full roster for their upcoming WWE ’13 featuring the much-hyped return of the Attitude Era wrestlers.

Video Games Are Actually Good For Mental Health
Earlier this year, a group of Canadian scientists released a study that proved what gamers have known for more than 20 years; video games are good for mental health.

Scientists reported that the combination of concentration and physical movement (required from many motion-enabled games) slows down the brain’s cognitive decline. Cognitive functions decline as people age, so the additional concentration and focus required to be successful at these games help stave off degeneration.
The study also shows that people who played these exergames proved to be physically healthier than those who do not. In addition to that, the study shows that these games increased one’s decision-making abilities (also known as executive function).
