Your complete guide to Destructoid

Surgeons, better start buying your Wii's soon.

Listen up kiddos. Believe it or not, a recent study has been made to prove that if surgeons use the Wii as 'warm up' before any major surgery, they have up too 48% higher on tool control, meaning that they will have less 'accidents' when dealing with the patient.

"Kanav Kahol and Marshall Smith of the Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona, took eight doctors in training and had them play games for an hour before performing a virtual surgery. Those who played on the system tested 48 percent higher on tool control and performance in the simulation. Those who played games that require precise movements, such as Kororinpa: Marble Mania--in which a player tilts the Wii Remote to move a ball around in-game levels--saw more improvement than those that let players succeed with broad gestures like swinging a tennis racket."

Quite surprising, no? This will probably decrease the urban myth that video games are evil, and that they were made to create an army of blood thirsty, sadistic, sadomasochist terrorists bend over World Domination and Mountain Dew. Or probably not. Who knows... but still:

Haha! Take that Jack Thompson!
