I'm not sure there any threads like this, but I thought I would create one. The idea is to list here (and discuss, if you wish) any video games you think are useful as a kind of learning medium on parapolitics, conspiracies, etc. These could be older games or ones that are in development. Perhaps many have been discussed before to death, but I think it's more useful to have them listed in one place.
The ones that immediately come up off the top of my head, that I have played:
- Deus Ex 1 and 2 (Obviously)
- Half-Life 1 and 2
Upcoming:
- Mirror's Edge: An FPS that focuses on true free-form movement, really immersing the player into the first person perspective. The character you play as, is a beautiful, oriental female heroine named Faith, who is on the run and fighting against fascist rulers in a conformist dystopia. Now that's my kind of learning tool!
Trailers: Mirror's Edge Story Trailer, Mirror's Edge HQ In-Game, Mirror's Edge Trailer
- Deus Ex 3: Not much information released, but hopefully it will be amazing .
