Another poster suggested Assassin's Creed and while I haven't played those games a lot I would say the do have convincing settings and recreations of some historical events, such as the storming of the Bastille.
I would personally recommend my favorite game, Age of Empire II: Age of Kings. It is a real time strategy in which you play as a number of civilizations roughly from around 500 A.D. to 1500 A.D. Each civilization has its own strengths and weakness and as well as unique technologies and a unique unit. For example, the Britons have the longbowman, Japanese have the samurai, Saracens have the mameluke, the list goes on.
The game also has a "encyclopedia" section on the main menu where you can read about the histories of these civilizations and warfare of the period.
There is also Age of Empires III which focuses on the gunpowder era, and Age of Mythology which focuses Geek, Egyptian, and Norse Mythology. Though, as you can probably guess, that game is based more on Mythology than history.
