Strategy vs Action Games !

Let us see if people would like to debate this.

Action Games are very addictive but strategy games are addictive as well as really good ones make u think and plan and learn ! I mean look at a game like Civ IV. You can play it for a year and still learn something new that will improve ur skills.

Give me strat games any day. In fact I am more or less sure I am not going to buy new action / shooter games. One exception to this was original Deus Ex. If there is another one like that, I will go for it. HL, MP (the last ones I played) were NOT.

A minor advantage of strat games is u can play with cheaper hardware e.g. save on graphics cards and RAMs.

improve ur skills.

I thought u decide the system capability based on which game u like rather than the other way round !

strategy is somewhat boring and patient but action packed are never dominated my those strategy games

i'll prefer an action game when i need a quick break... strategy on a sunday afternoon or some holiday

Strategy is made for those who have much brain to exploit & Action game is for those who have few brain to exploit.

^^ Rather I would say that Strategy Games are for those who like to use their brain more and have time while action games are for those who want a quick refreshment or so...

a mix of both

I am seeing on forums that action games arouse MUCH MORE interest than strategy games - guys have just gone on discussing games like Crysis and Bioshock whereas strat games seem to leave them cold !

Maybe we can form a strat game fan club !
