From the study: http://www.nature.com/mp/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/mp201715...

For example, real time strategy games such as Rise of Nations have been shown to have positive effects on both visual attention and executive function.53 However, the impact of such real time strategy games on the hippocampus remains to be determined.

The study only looked at first person shooters like CoD: Modern Warfare 2 (action training) third person platformers like Mario 64 (mario training) and first person RPG shooters like Borderlands 2 (aRPG training). It only links to another study that allegedly looked at strategy games.
