  On one hand I am always amazed at what kids can learn at latch onto on the weirdest ways. So I have no doubt that a lot can be learned through context. Watching movies can absolutely demonstrate a seemingly endless scenarios in a way that can be understood.

  However, as someone raising a child, let me tell you how often I have to stop and explain that certain things are not real just because there’s a video of it. Or how many words are being used incorrectly because they were heard in one context that was misunderstood.

  I think a child who only had media to teach them, with no one to correct things, would have an endless amount of misunderstandings - nevermind the amount of things they’d believe that are entirely fictional. Basically, no, this kid would be screwed.

  Right off the bat, the Dead Space series is pretty good. Crazy as it sounds, Dead Space: Extraction (a wii game that no one talks about, although it is also on the PS3) is probably my favorite in the series.

  You can’t go wrong with the Silent Hill series, and another possibly unpopular opinion is that Silent Hill 4 : The Room is probably my favorite. >

  Now a real oddball pick. Is it the best game? No. Does it have an amazing story? No. But Obscure and Obscure 2 were a lot of fun of you’re cool with “this is like a really low budget campy horror flick” kind of games. Played them with a buddy a few years ago and it was the most fun co-op experience I’ve had in ages.
