With advances in technology and the need for new challenges and content, game designers are turning to historical events and personal stories. "People making video games can have more courage now about the things they can address," says James Binns of PCGamesN. Navid Khonsari, founder of iNK Stories, is one of those people. "Having made documentaries and having worked in video games," he says, "I find that what is really appealing about documentaries is that true connection to real-life stories, to real-life people, and if you can actually put that as part of a game, then you're making so much more of an enriched experience for the end user": http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23552381
