From Reuters:  Video games ease pain for sick kids, parents

It’s good to see video games being lauded for helping people instead of being accused of driving game players into killing rampages.  I think this illustrates what games are good at:  helping people escape.  Books, movies, music, games – they help people escape from reality.  In this case the media could put a postive spin on it.  In other cases, they put a very negative spin on it.
