Default Science focused video games.

Hi there, I was just wondering if any fo you guys knew about science based video games. I am talking about any video game that has dealt with science as a subject, one example that I've heard of is the Half Life series which has physics as a central team, though I have never played the game. Are there any other games like that?

Do you mean educational games or games that have science stuff as a theme or narrative framing device?

Well, I don't really know anything like that. Sorry!

It's definitely not educational, but between bouts of gunfire and neck-snapping, Deus Ex: Human Revolution tackles human augmentation and transhumanism in a fairly mature and thoughtful manner.

Something like Spore is probably what you're looking for.

Ew, no. Spore is pretty much the opposite of science.
