Video games you can learn from?

Does anyone know of some games that you can actualy learn somthing about history? Im not talking an educational game. Just a game with a story based on a real historically time peroid. Im really just curiouse.

Red Dead, CoD4 to an extent.

LA Noire

Jeanne D' arc, one of my Favorite PSP games because actually was based on history.

Through many games I learned how to survive a zombie Apocalypse.

The Assassin's Creed games to an extent.

Red Dead Redemption, Assassin's Creed, LA Noire, Call of Duty or any other WWII shooter

The Metal Gear series. A lot of the fictional events in the game are linked to real events, which you can learn a lot from, as long as you remember what is real and what is not:P

The Assassin's Creed games to an extent.

Do me a favor and dont take any history facts from assassins creed not even to an extant. Many of them are false. Even the whole idea of the nights templar being bad is false.

I wont argue that but its also important to take in to consideration that there are bad eggs in every group and also their enemies were 10 times worse. The majority of the templars were not that bad especially not as bad as Assassins creed makes them out to be. There is also the fact that the all of the nights templar were exicuted on Friday the 13th.

I learned from MW2 and you shoot an assault rifle going full auto and have no recoil. It's amazing how far we've progressed in firearms :roll:anime_gamer007

Yeah ive also learned from call of duty that The army will extend my lung capacity for sniping, they can make me stronger for the first 10 seconds of the game.

The Medal of Honor series has plenty of actual historical footage and a lot of historical details between missions.

I've learned that you've got to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em. Wait, that was Kenny Rogers...

Eternal Sonata gives you a great deal of info on Fredric Chopin's life also explains and plays some of his songs.

You said, "a game with a story based on a real historically time peroid." The assassins creed games fit that description. You didn`t specify that the story had to be historicly accurite. Uncharted 1&2 to some extent.

Oh... i see what your saying. I miss under stoo my own question :D

it defenantly is based on a real historical time period. I forgot that it is a pretty good rendition too. just the story thats a little screwed up, but then again it is a video game.

Man those quote tags are screwed up. im not even going to try to fix them

COD taught me how to reload a M60 machine gun.

Assassin's Creed is an award-winning historical true-based third person, this game is a continuation of Ezio Auditore's story.

Oh don't be so sure mate. They were actually bad at one point, just not in the same way AC portrays it. And lets not forget that we have them to "thank" for the modern form of banking

There's good and there's bad. Regardless of what side you are on the other guys will always be the bad guys. So it could be told from either side and either side could be considered the good guys by themselves. Not everyone would view a group of religious soldiers fighting for the church as the good guys.

Assassins Creed holds many historical locations and facts if you read the little annotations when you visit a new area. Is it 100% historically accurate? Of course not. I can't think of any games that are.

I learnt some stuff about nuclear weapons in the Metal gear series, especially in peace walker with the subject on artificial intelligence and nuclear deterrence.
