Video games cure phobias?

I just wonder whether the result is an overall desensitization, rather than a healthy cure of phobias.
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.

Wanna know if the research is correct? Play Op Flashpoint for two hours then go to Iraq. If you can take the real heat then you have your answer.
