I learned alot from most ww2 games (like weapons, battles and geography)
Also from the total war series (like weapons, battles and geography)
I learned about artificial intelligence and science from mass effect
Oddly enough I also learned political structure and culture from all three of these games.

The Legend of Zelda (NES) taught me that there is ALWAYS hidden stuff in game, if you just know where to look. Also some critical thinking under pressure (but really, who uses that?)
The Illusion of Gaia (SNES) unknowingly taught me advanced reading and comprehension, both were required to understand and, by extention, play the game.
Super Bomberman (SNES) multiplayer taught me how to outsmart an AI who knows more about game mechanics than I do.
Parasite Eve (PS1) taught me about Mitochondria and how other cells function in certain ways.
Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete (PC) taught me about strategy and not just rolling around a map with one guy who holds me entire army.
World of Warcraft (PC) taught me that neverending games do exist and are pretty fun if you have the time and effort to play.

Grandma dies of dysentery, cousin Joe gets hit be EVERY stray bullet fired, and everyone else gets scurvy because no one taught me to YAR HAR PIRATE-- I mean eat oranges and make it k.rednose1 said:
Civilization taught me a lot too.
Early history, famous leaders, and what surprised my geography teacher one day early settlements needs and why they were placed where they were and developed into the towns they are today

Age of Empires taught me a lot of history, especially AoE3, where you could find information on units and people in those slow times in each match, especially treaty games.
Fire Emblem and other games helped me score a 750 on the Verbal portion of the SAT... We would do SAT prep in class and I already knew most of the words' meanings because I had encountered them in-game.
The articles the World of Tanks guys put out every so often has deepened my knowledge of tank warfare from the WWII era. Interesting stuff right there.

Well games have taught me a lot Xenogears helped me pass spelling tests oddly enough XD back when I couldn't spell the word "Gear" XD the final fantasy games helped me learn to read better. Pokemon did the same. Lets not forget strategy games that help you tune your mind without you realizing it till you read somewhere that it does somewhere down the road. Assassins creed is a more recent example where I learned about historical figures and bits of culture from a team of people who are quite good at there job putting everything into a period. Ceaser taught me that more plebs where needed... XD was too young to understand that game when I played it.
