GNT: I’ve been in one… OK maybe I haven’t but it sure felt like it. Years ago, back when I started gaming on my NES and Atari ST, I could sit there for hours thinking only 5 minutes had gone by. Now, even with the great releases, time just seems to stand still. Many games get completed (on the hardest difficulty) in a day, leaving only those achievement whores amongst us to go back and finish gathering collectibles.

Even now, after 10+ years playing the Total War series, I cannot equivocally say which Total War game is my favourite. This speaks volumes to the quality of each iteration. I haven’t played the original Shogun: Total War or Attilla: Total War, so perhaps I can’t say which is the best in the series (even though most would agree Medieval II), but I can say they’ve rarely had a misstep."

Do video games have the potential to teach kids more than classrooms and tutors? Games like Medieval: Total War and Age of Empires tend to be packed with historical information.
I know the article said skyrim didnt do that for him, but it sure as hell did for me. I used taht analogy many times skyrim proves time travel is posible because of exactly what the article says you sit down for "10 minutes" & bam 5 hours goes by lol
Every time I sleep, I time travel.
