Yes, a game has. Actually, it's helping me right now.
Especially TLoZ OoT. It teached me my first word in English. 'Yes' (the owl did

)
Also runescape. Which teached me my main English knowledge. When I was 8, I was fully able to communicate with English people. And they understood me

AKA I own the ability to talk English.

Also, my reaction speed = now f*cking fast.
Also also, I can push/click buttons EXTREMELY FAST.

I can say on this thread that games only helped me get into trouble, only to make matters worse when I didn't care about it.

Not specifically, like, in a situation. But they did help me build my English, improve my logic and reasoning skills (Prof. Layton, Phoenix Wright, MONKEY EFFIN ISLAND), my calculating speed with simple additions (Brain Age ftw) and my reaction speed (pretty much every game)

Games helped me socialize growing up.

I only had one friend at the time, but that was because of our families being good friends.

Then I met Zarkz, and I guess I got less shy. :/

I learned english by playing the pokemon games since i was 7.
Didn't understand it at first but after a while you see certain words recurring and you start to understand what they mean.
I think I only asked my dad three times what something I didn't understand meant.
My dad works at the american embassy in Brussels and sometimes he brings his friends to our house so that helped too, but it's mostly thanks to pokemon.
At the age of 8-9 I could understand english almost perfectly.

And now I just sleep during english lessons because I know most of it anyway!
