We use both high and low-fidelity simulations in our nursing program and they provide invaluable insight to our students.  It is amazing how realistic they are now and the multitude of programs and situations that can be replicated.  I found the comment about how often people play World of Warcraft quite interesting.  The awarding of badges and other objectives to meet keeps individuals engaged and coming back for more.  A challenge to using these simulations and games includes some students do not have access to the latest technology required to run high quality simulations.  Unfortunately for many online students they do not live close to their school and cannot utilize the on-campus computer labs.  Overall I think this discussion is needed and provides some unique learning opportunities for both the instructor and the student.
