Nature and videogames

[Will Menth]

Hello all, Im currently doing an essay with regards to videogames undertaking a theme of nature and Im pretty much at a loss.
The only games that really spring to mind are eco-fighters and ecolis in terms of direct representations. I fairly certain a lot of games have a nature sub-plot but at the moment my minds gone blank.
Thanks For the help!

There are the Ever Blue games on PS2, the Aquanauts Holiday series too.

I've played my PSP outside, it was in a park and everything. That's nature right?

flower is the most obvious, along with afrika and aquanauts holiday on ps3.
theres also that japanese garden design/simulation thingy on the japanese psn store. cant remember what its called or if it even really counts as a game.

That safari game, the Japanese name is Doubutsu Kisoutengai on the Wii.
Sim Animals, SA Africa...
ChibiRobo Park Patrol is all about making the park pretty.

Can't forget Runark AKA Growl AKA *the* side-scrolling beat 'em up of choice for any self-respecting animal rights campaigner.
