I used to watch quite a bit of TV and read a lot. Once computer sims got good I discovered that they offer something that neither books or TV can - interactivity. With books and TV you just get whatever the writer wants to give you. With computer games I get to have an impact on the outcome. That's the deal-maker for me.
As soon as I have to upgrade my box I'll be trying SH4. This little puddle between Europe and America is just no place for a submarine skipper.
