7. Get a Birds Eye View of the World
Wannabe pilots can get their fix through Microsoft’s Flight Simulator video game series. It originated back in 1982 with some pretty clunky graphics, but recent incarnations like MFSX Steam Edition present some spectacular rich scenery of the world. Fly over large cities, landmarks, airports or spectacular natural wonders in a single-engine aircraft, glider, helicopter, jumbo jet and more. There is a range of almost photo-realistic global scenery to download to add variety to your flight plans.
8. Have a Virtual Vegas Vacay
Grand Theft Auto is an open world action-adventure game series, primarily set in fictionalized urban stand-ins for metropolises like New York (Liberty City) and Miami (Vice City). In GTA: San Andreas, you get to go overdrive in Los Angeles (San Andreas), San Fierro (San Francisco) and Las Venturas (Las Vegas). Its immersive graphics may not be a true-rendition of zipping down the Vegas strip, but it’s a close facsimile. This is a controversial video game series due to its criminal, violent, adult nature, so it’s not necessarily a recommendation for a relaxing virtual vacation.
Do you know of other virtual vacations to take through video games?
