I think it depends on the game. Some games still emerge me and I completely forget about the real world. And, the "lone hero" is an age-old gaming thing that is not going to go away.

Social gaming = online gaming = TF2. nuff said.

Otherwise...games like Zelda with very active environment probably would work for you. But, sometimes you just have to roll with the post-Apocalyptic world.

Do yourself a favor, Angrist, and check out No One Lives Forever.
