Not a bad article, but it's weird to see that alternate reality games like Red Alert get more mention than something like Total War, when a mod like Europa Barbarorum does a good job of using historical information. I've never played Mount and Blade, but it probably transcribes some of the realities of the time (mounted combat) that you don't find much about in other games.
