The American Library Association (ALA) has realised this link, offering people the chance to play games and learn more about the real stories behind them. However, our game begins in 1459 and ends in 1499 so the Leonardo players encounter and interact with is much younger,” said Corey May, lead scriptwriter for the game at Ubisoft Montreal. When it comes to exploring history through games, World War II has been a popular setting for shooter games over the years but The Saboteur, a new action game from Electronic Arts, serves up the French resistance to Nazi occupation as its setting and introduces a protagonist based on a real-life war hero. Players step into the boots of Sean Devlin, who was inspired by William Grover-Williams, a half-English/half-French grand prix champion driver for the French Bugatti racing team in the 1930s. Tom French, lead designer of The Saboteur at Pandemic Studios, said to many people, World War II was only fought by soldiers and viewed as epic battles like the Normandy Beach invasion or Pearl Harbour.
