The Friday Debate – Have You Ever Learnt Anything From Playing A Game?

80 0

The question sprang to mind as I received my copy of Rock Band 3 today. I’m particularly intrigued by the Rock Band Pro mode because I play guitar in real life (whatever that is). I can play quite a few songs that are on the disc and I’m looking forward to giving them a try with the TV switched off and seeing what kind of score it gives me.
The flip side is that, theoretically, I should be able to master a new song using the game and then breeze through it on a real guitar.
It’s an exciting threshold where virtual and real life skills merge seamlessly and that strikes me as a first; if you beg to differ, then this is the place to do so.


We’re not just talking about practical skills here; did Broken Sword inspire you to read up on the Knight’s Templar? Did you learn to crochet just so you could make your own Sackboy? Did Metal Gear Solid teach you that smoking makes you a better sniper (to the detriment of your health)?
