Researchers have concluded what your parents always feared: videogames rot your brain. Well, kinda. A study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that male game players, on average, wound up with grades almost a quarter-point lower; girls saw a 0.13-point decrease. But for all the anti-videogame advocates out there, know this. It's not the games' fault, it's these lousy students' inability to manage their time. (Photo by wahba)
