Apparently the History Channel is now using games to help reinforce what viewers are learning on their shows. The latest season of "Dogfights" will begin July 13 with 20 new episodes, and at least 11 games for those episodes. According to the Reuters article, Kuma Reality Games is heading the project:
"'There will be a variety of planes to fly, starting with WWII planes like Zeros and Hellcats,' Kuma Reality Games CEO Keith Halper said. 'We receive the script for each show from the History Channel, and we evaluate it to make an accurate but fun gaming experience that's true to the show.'"
The episodes can be accessed online via the History Channel(www.HistoryChannel.com) or Kuma Games websites(www.KumaGames.com) to download the games.
This is not the first time the History Channel has used video games to aid programming. In December of 2005, the game Band of Brothers was used alongside the documentary of the same name, and Rome: Total War was used to help illustrate points in the 13-episode "Decisive Battles" series.
