I'm not sure when this article was posted, but it's from the PBS series The Video Game Revolution. Entitled "Eight Myths About Video Games Debunked", the article points out several research studies and theorist viewpoints about some common video game related myths... well, you may have viewed them as facts, but the point of the article is to mythify them based on the research. Good stuff, from my perspective.

I could go on for a while citing articles from the above site.. very good stuff in there. If you're unfamiliar with the social and psychological studies being done revolving around the video game industry, you might find a browse through that fantastic resource to be very fruitful. I'll likely just go through the essays and articles more and set up a better overview of the site. It's really quite impressive and will stand very nicely on its own, without my filtered commentary.
