Many games are roughly based off true stories or events, but just how close to the original source material are they?

Gamespy takes a look at a handful of games that are inspired by true events that aren't anything like the true events they're inspired by...

Videogames are usually inspired by three things: movies, war, and male misconceptions about women. A title that contains all three is the equivalent of the triple threat of singer/actor/dancer -- the Jennifer Lopez of videogames, minus Ben Affleck. Sometimes, however, a game comes along that bucks that tired trend and takes its cues from real-life events or historical figures, not the fantastical and violent fever dreams of nerdy 40-year-old developers. But these standouts still end up diverging enough from their source material in idiotic ways to warrant a smarmy lambasting.

Here are a few videogames inspired by true events that aren't anything like the true events they're inspired by.
