Zusammenfassung

This article aims to analyse a few examples of the most famous videogames which have been released in recent years such as “The Witcher” or “Assasins's Creed”. The main objective is to show how through the study of the videogames's scenarios, we can understand an specific historical period. This means a new methodology in order to the students can recreate a historical age. These two videogames allow to analyse the Middle Ages and the Modern Age: recreate the streets of Florence or the relationship between the vassal and his lord. Thus, it will raise an issue among the current debate about the usefulness of the videogames, is it possible the relationship between videogames and history or history of art? This newness of the field allows combine disciplines which a priori may appear to be totally opposing like humanities and technologies. In this way, throught the new didactical area, the students can obtain a greatest benefit in their studies.
