Sure. I was playing FF games as a kid which helped with my reading and comprehension. I also honestly think I'd never heard the word 'sanguine' before playing Oblivion.
Kessen taught me about the battle of Sekigahara, down to the fact that Hidetada was held up and missed the battle, and that Tokugawa had to attack Kobayakawa before he would defect and fight for the East.

The first word that comes to mind is "quest", so I guess that applies in particular.
The majority of my spelling prowness is the result of playing games, me thinks. Games where pretty much the only place where I would read English text and I had certainly not learnt words such as the aforementioned "quest" from school. Simply put, playing games led to literacy for me.

Yes. As I have spelling-dissorder and live in a country where english isn't even used between any groups, the english in videogames have stimulated my english more than I'm proud to admit.
One of the reasons may be because the first game I owned without sharing it with my brother was FF7. English-skills are pretty much required to do anything in that game.
