I play WoW on my lunchbreaks and it does a good job of sort of wiping my stress level back towards zero afterwards.
Then again, it's just the same when I'm doing something that isn't game-related, like going out to eat with a few friends. Just stepping out of the whole work frame of mind is pretty good for that.
I think it'll occupy someone's time too much for it to be something conducive for work. But as something to perk you up or help you through a long day? I think so...
I mean I remember days when I wanted to lash out at everyone and maybe kick a puppy or two. I huddled down and played some PSP that seemed to work. Oh and the game I was playing? Lumines...
For teamwork or team building skills, I'd say something like Left 4 Dead can be applied. Though I doubt there'd be any company willing to try it...
But I do know some companies who uses videogames as a pick me up for some of its employees...
