I think there are a few things that games do for you:
1) makes you visualize things much better. I'm studying organic chemistry right now and people who don't play video games all tell me that they have trouble visualizing the molecules, but I see them easily
2) Helps increase hand eye coordination and reaction. Supposedly surgeons who used to play video games perform surgery faster and better
3) Brings people together. I've said it before, but i have a bunch of friends who usually drink and get high during the weekends, but if there is a Halo night going on, the party and killing of brain cells take a break.
