Top 10 Learning Games

IGN suggests the top 10 games that people can actually learn something from.

Welcome to IGN’s weekly countdown of the exceptional, fascinating, and absurd: something we like to call Top 10 Tuesday. Every week we’ll feature the top ten games, characters, fashion statements or whatever else we can think of that in some way relates to gaming and its history. And just because it’s called Top 10 Tuesday doesn’t mean it’s always going to be a list of the best — we like to razz on stuff as much as praising it. From counting down the best consoles ever to revealing the worst use of fish heads in a videogame, this is where it’s at.
Today’s Top 10 is dedicated to all the students out there. We know that summer is still going strong, but school is right around the corner. Since the amount of free time that you’ll have for your favorite pastime might be cut down because of homework, we wanted to give you all a helping hand when you return to those hallowed halls of learning

Regardless of what your parents or teachers might say, there are plenty of educational things to be found in video games, and we’re here to instruct with ten titles that readily came to mind. Next time someone asks you why you’re spending so much time playing instead of studying, tell them to relax and break out one of these ten examples as a way that gaming has made you a more educated individual.
