Following up on our recent article about Twitch for Charities, we've got a bit of an update...

Video games and mental health. Are video games good for us? or are they brainwashing young minds like Eminem supposedly did in the noughties?

Now, for anyone who knows me - I'm a gamer. Since 1990 when my Dad surprised me and my sister with a Super Nintendo for Christmas I haven't put a controller down since. That means that for over 30 years I've played games, I've enjoyed games and I've socialised with my friends probably more than I would have done if games didn't exist.

Games for me have been an incredible way to unwind, but also a great way to socialise.

To catch up with people I haven't seen in a while, to meet new friends, to have a chin wag with mates who've moved away, or to speak with pals who've recently become new parents, where their only chance to unwind at the moment is to put their Playstation on and aimlessly shoot some zombies.
