Programmers

...but that implies you have a PlayStation 2. So here's the real question to ask: don't programmers prefer playing games on a PC, as opposed to a console? (I'll be the first in line to get GTA:VC when it comes out on the PC)

I liked Call-to-Power, and wasted many days with Civ1 back in the day. I've thought about getting Civ3. Is it worth the upgrade, or just more of the same with a few new techs,etc.?

I've got a PS2, a Gamecube, a Dreamcast, a Sega Saturn, a Gameboy Advance and a Multi-Mega (oh, and a PC) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Nope. don't own any. I play some strategy games from time to time though. AOK, Civ, SIM City,.... BW "I'm coming with you! I got you fired, it's the least I can do. Well, the least I could do is absolutely nothing, but I'll go you one better and come along!" - Homer J. Simpson

:omg: Ok, so I've got a Dreamcast... ...but I only bought it after someone got Linux to run on it...otherwise I don't think I would've bothered with a console. You know where your heart belongs when you've bought a keyboard and a mouse for your console... :-D

Its pretty much the same as civ1-2 and ctp, but its significantly different enough to buy imho.

Well, I certainly am addicted to Halo on XBox, probably one of the best first person shooters ever made. Looks like the only socializing I have left is killing Covenants on warthogs. X| Carved upon my stone, My body lies but still I roam...

I like FPS if they also have a plot behind them. Deus ex and half life where quite good in that regard. I also like FP games where planning and steath play a large part.

Nope - I hate them. They make me feel sick. I play old Amiga platformers when I have time to play anything at all.
