Lawyer, doctor, pilot - they are all gamers

Is your lawyer or doctor playing video games? They could well be. Would you still trust them to handle your legal case, operate on you or fly the plane you are on?

No child's play
Games are not only for kids. With more mature themes and complex concepts, they are made to appeal to adults.

No prejudice, please

Banker-gamer: Banking on privacy
This private banker at a top first says that he would rather not volunteer the information that he is a gamer.

Pilot-gamer: Gaming helped his career
Playing games like Quake actually helps, this trainee pilot says, as a pilot needs good hand and eye coordination.

Doctor-gamer: He's also an 'Uncle' gamer
"Uncle, aren't you a bit too old for this?" This general practitioner doesn't think so.
