Today's Gamers, Tomorrow's Leaders? 245
slash-sa writes "Video games have become problem-solving exercises wrapped in the veneer of
an exotic adventure. In today's fast and rapidly-changing business environment,
the strategic skills they teach are more important than ever. From realistic battlefield simulations to the building of great nations, from
fantastic voyages through worlds of mythology to conquering space, "Generation
G" could well offer the answer to unlocking
great 21st century strategists and leaders."

Adventure games teach great lessons! (Score:3, Funny)
The lessons learned from playing adventure games should work well in real life:
1. Take everything that isn't nailed down.
2. Touch everything.
3. Put everything on everything until something happens.
