The strange biofeedback game Journey to the Wild Divine has been getting a lot of space on the Women In Games Development listserv lately, primarily because the software is actually garnering some good press about videogames. Indeed, the tendrils of positivity are reaching some unlikely places, and the game apparently solves all sorts of ills.
The latest comes from online women's site Bella Online, which claims that playing Wide Divine may actually cure ADHD.
This biofeedback computer game helps to integrate mind and body to reduce stress, improve mental and physical performance, increase focus and creativity, and promote total wellness. The game can give you more awareness of your own internal states of consciousness. Other possible benefits include the potential for a clearer state of mind, heightened powers of imagination, greater understanding of the mind/body connection, and more energy and relaxation.This isn't the first title released that argues that offline goodness can come from computer game play. I recall, very dimly, something called released by Time Warner Interactive, which supposedly messed around with the endorphins in people's brains and made them feel happy. But can playing GTA: SA make people ?
