Mark Starkey, the longtime owner of the Heart of Gaming computer game outlet in London, said there is also the difference between older games and the new ones.

"The ability to make games a lot more bigger, a lot more detailed, a lot more intricate is here now. It's going to hold their attention longer. It's going to hold it a lot longer, because there's always wanting to progress through the story line -- here's a cliffhanger; 'Oh my god, I have to see what happens next' etc. etc. Whereas, again, the old games they challenge more your hand-eye coordination, your speed, your timing, your reactions, rather than perhaps your imagination," said Starkey.

The games industry has long claimed there is no proven link between games and addiction. But the new study says additional research is needed to establish the effect of prolific computer game-playing on performance at school.
