If you are interested in research comparing computer games, serious games and simulations to other instructional methods, then here is a definitive list of resources and references. The focus in this collection, is on studies that have produced empirical findings, rather than speculative or notional results.
A few references are theoretical, and some do not deal with computer games at all, though the vast majority are from empirical studies of computer games. With thanks to the ADL for providing such a very useful set of resources.
