According to new research, VIDEO games help kids with ADHD. Researchers made a study last week showing the possitive effects in this non medical way to combat ADHD. "The University of Sydney wants to use video games with built-in biofeedback controls as a part of non-medical treatment."
Scientists from the university of sydney are looking for parents with children, both with ADHD and without to be apart of this research.
"Basically, the video game monitors heart rate and brainwave patterns to monitor how much concentration a child can gather while focusing on a video game. If a child’s brainwaves and heart rate drop below a certain level, indicating lack of concentration and focus, the child will lose control of the video game."

"Viking: Battle for Asgard Fact SheetOverview
A fierce struggle is taking place within Asgard, the realm of the Norse Gods. The battle has escalated, spilling over to the mortal world of Midgard and now a Champion must be found, a Warrior than can sway this war that threatens the fate of Asgard and the Gods themselves.
The goddess Hel ? daughter of Loki, Norse God of mischief, has been banished from the heavenly kingdom of Asgard for defying Odin?s rule. Angry at her fate, she seeks to release the ancient wolf-god Fenrir which legend tells will bring about Ragnarok - the apocalyptic battle that will destroy Asgard and the Gods. With her army of resurrected Viking warriors, Hel marches on the unsuspecting mortal realm of Midgard.
Odin?s daughter Freya, goddess of love and wisdom, is appointed the task of stopping Hel and defending the future of mankind. For her champion she chooses Skarin, a great but troubled young warrior, ignorant of the true reason for his favour with the Gods and thrust into the midst of their bitter war.
As Skarin, players will experience unparalleled battle scenes, leading the charge in a titanic clash between powerful gods and mere men. War on an unprecedented scale will rage across a beautifully realised Viking landscape. Vast, living islands, free form worlds filled with discovery, stealth, brutal combat and culminating in epic battles the like of which have never been seen on console before.
Features:
- The story of a Viking Hero. Skarin is an uncompromising force. A plaything of the gods rebelling against their selfish agenda. The definitive Viking warrior.
- Rich Viking Lore. The violent and glorious world of Viking mythology brought to stunning life. Players will write their own legends to be told around the campfire.
- Vast open world environments. Explore, uncover and fight your way across huge next gen worlds full of combat, exploration and quests.
- High impact, brutal combat engine. Experience intensely physical melee combat. Dismember enemies with deadly combat moves in a whirlwind of death.
- Mythical Powers. Tame dragons and command them to rain fire upon your enemies. Call on magic and the power of the gods to win the mortal war.
- Free your people. Liberate your Viking kinsmen from the clutches of Hel. Earn their trust and their sword arm. Fight alongside them in battle.
- Epic Battles. Lay the foundations for huge battles featuring hundreds of dynamic NPC warriors. Subtly influence the battle through targeted assassination or wade in to save stricken allies. Become one amongst many and turn the tide in favour of your kinsmen."
Viking: Battle for Asgard will be released in early 2008 on the Xbox 360 and PS3, personally i cant wait.

Bind on Equip
- All equipable items that were bindable are now either bind on equip or bind on pickup, with the majority of the items being bind on equip.
Improvements Made to LFG!
- The Looking For Group tool is receiving a revamp, and now you’ll have the ability to display which quests you’re working on, as well as which dungeons you’d like to explore when looking for a group. There are many other options that allow the LFG tool to be tweaked to your liking!
MORE AFTER THE BREAK
Resting Has its Rewards!
- Heroes may now rest in Vanguard! Resting increases the rate at which a hero will gain adventuring, crafting, or diplomacy experience.
Diplomacy Becomes Level Based!
-Diplomacy has moved from a “skill-based” system to a “level-based” system to increase the opportunities for sphere interdependence.
Revamping the Diplomacy UI!

-Cards that are unusable due to refresh timers will now be dimmed until ready to play.
Deconstruction
-Deconstruction kits are now available for purchase from vendors for a minimal cost! Use these handy kits to convert items into a resource or dust.
New Item Level Requirements

PvP Fixes Implemented!
-Many bugs have been banished from PvP to make combat more effective and fun for all those taking part!
Crash Fixes and Optimizations
-The Vanguard Team has put a lot of effort into both improving game performance and eliminating bugs that cause crashes. Highlights can be found in the full patch notes.
Find Your Way with Quest Tracking!
- Your Quest Tracker is making some changes for the better. Not only is the layout bigger, but you’ll better be able to decide which quests you see, which are hidden, and scroll over Tracker text for a brief summary of that quest!
Helpful UI Changes to Improve Item Identification!
- Keeping in line with our efforts to make Vanguard easier to understand and more intuitive, we have added a variety of improvements to items including descriptions of abilities and percentages of proc chances!
Scrolling Combat Text
- You can now switch on scrolling combat text in your Settings panel! There are many ways to tweak this option to make it most effective for your play style.

Pay-To-Play MMORPGs
1) World Of Warcraft
This MMORPG is definitely the best mmorpg out, has over 9million members.
2) Lord Of The Rings Online
This game is fantastic, the scenary is INTENSE! I actually quit WoW for this game, the only reason this game isnt first is because, its fairly new and has alot of bugs, content to be fixed. But i wouldnt doubt that this game will take first place within 6-12months or longer.
3) Eve Online
Now this is a different type of MMORPG, its a sci-fi mmorpg, this game has the best economy i have ever seen.
4) Final Fantasy XI
Though this game isnt as popular as its competitors, its still a very good game.
5) City of Heroes/ Villains
Great mmorpg for casual gamers , hardcore gamers MIGHT like it aswell just because of the PVP.
6) Dark Age Of Camelot
Now this is the best PVP mmorpg i have ever played, just because of there 3 realm system. Its a bit outdated but still very steady in terms of quality.
7) Everquest
This MMORPG used to be number one before WoW came out. I dont like how they have so many expansion packs, that just makes it to confusing etc.
8)Dungeons and dragons online
This MMORPG, is a bit different from the average MMORPG, it has very well written quests, this game is amazing if you like to solo play!
9)Lineage2
This game really rocks for PVP with there siege events, PVP gameplay etc. That being said, is the only really good thing about this game.
10)Saga of Ryzom
Not a well known mmorpg, heck i only heard about it a few months ago. It has a decent story line, with cool character freedom.

This is the best game for free mmorpgs, you have to buy the game, but theres NO subscription fee!
2)Rappelz
This game looks amazing, wicked gameplay, since its free its on the top 10 chart!
3)Runescape
Yes i know, people hate it, or people love it. But this game is one of the most popular mmorpgs since its completly free and easy to play. And it is very addicting, but you have to actually get into it. Graphics/gameplay arent the best but makes up for it with being so addicting.

This is an mmorpg that i still play till this day, i love it. It may be a big grind, but its so addicting and theres so much to do. And of course 100% free

The creators of ragnorak online created this game, you can control 3 players at once, and all characters of the player are in a family. The graphics are stunning!
