Forty studies were identified for inclusion based on criteria including age range, date published and academic subjects studied.

Potential barriers and risks associated with video games such as violence, addiction and parental and teacher attitudes, are examined. Finally, the implications of the available research are discussed. While there are many limitations, the findings show that there is support to for using video games in educational contexts.
