For instance, the Civ games are basically Whig History: The Game, presenting liberal capitalism as the ideal end point for all societies. It even includes uncivilized "barbarian tribes" whose sole purpose is to be exterminated so you can take their land for the glory of capitalism.
I can let that one slide because it was a bit whacky. Recent games take themselves way too seriously and the themes are much worse than before because it's no longer Michael Bay brainless action game, but serious, moody Kathryn Bigelow-esque "commentary"
