Games are good for the brain... right?

Games have always been held as an important part of children on the path to learning, increasing their brain function and skills. Within the past decade or so, though, Video Games have been targeted as harmful to children, creating violence and hostility within them. I believe that video games can do more good than the harm that people spew out. Most researchers proclaim that the content of video games is increasingly harmful to children, while other disagree and claim that video games are actually beneficial to children, increasing their critical thinking skills among other things. I believe that as long as a child is playing the correct video games (i.e. a 9 year old playing E rated games as opposed to M rated games) they can be incredibly beneficial to children.

The research I'd like to read about is more about the benefits of video games because I've read enough about the detrimental effects of video games on children thanks to the media.
