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?

 

[lixsussk89]

I guess it's more of educational games.

 

[Soapy]

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.

There was that old PC game Life and Death, anyone remember that?

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