actually, video games may have health benefits (depending on the type of game and how you play it)It can help with eye-hand coordination, it can help with short term memory, it can help with problem solving abilities, it can help with peripheral vision, etc.Video games are also the basis of simulation, used in all types of training, like flying a plane, operate a crane, etc.But if you dedicate your life to playing video games, there are also games about flipping burgers, you can train for that as well
First person cooperative combat games can help kids learn how to plan and how to work as a team, as long as the missions are set up so that it’s hard enough to finish if you don’t act together. One important thing, though, is to turn off “friendly fire” if you can because kids will spend all of their time killing each other and ignore the mission. (Yes, there are adults like that too, but for most of us, the novelty wears off very quickly.)
