As of late video games have become an aide in the educational field. Some of the latest Real Time Strategy games such as Sid Miers: Civilization games, the Total War series and even some First Person Shooter Games such as the Call of Duty Franchise and the Brothers in Arms series have created a way for people to learn the subject material through a first person experience on the computer or flat screen. For example the first Brothers in Arms game was researched so well that if one was to play the game enough to the point where they memorized the layout of the towns in which the person played they could become a tour guide there. The Total War series has teamed up with the History Channel in their most recent games, making the units the same in detail all the way down to the color of the feather in their hats. Not only does it represent units correctly but the campaigns have events that happened each half year in the country that you are playing as, along with the campaigns being historically accurate except for the part when you can change history by expanding your empire to its greatest heights. So the real question is when will teachers start assigning video games instead of homework?
