It should be mentioned that the article is a review article and doesn't provide any actual head-to-head comparisons between "action video games" and "brain games." In addition, one of the authors (Aaron Seitz) developed a cognitive training program (Ultimeyes) that is much more like a "brain game" than an "action video game"
A summary from the article than its title is "A new article argues that it is the specific content, dynamics, and mechanics of individual games that determine their effects on the brain and that action video games might have particularly positive benefits."
