When asked which game I think is the most realistic, I replied that I think we're all missing a point... there really aren't "real games"... no one would play them if they were real, therefore no one would produce them.  The whole point of playing a game is to escape reality... creating a 'real' game would distroy the point of digital gaming.  If you want to play a real war game... join the AF or the Marines.  If you wanna play a real sports game... go get a football or a soccerball or a baseball or whtatever... but asking what video game is real is pointless.
