"War Games - Thumbs up or down?"

With a lot of consideration of war going on and Bush acting as mad as he always was ( I am not an anti-Americanist for all those Bushophiles out there)I find myself wondering whether developers are doing the right thing pushing out war games at a rate of knots. Sure they're fun, in a way, if you take no notice of current affairs, but is it the developers at fault or us?
If you have no idea what I'm talking about read on... ( that line sounds familiar...)
One could argue that developers are thoughtless, mindless beings for making violent, graphic games. But when you think about it, they're only doing it for the money they rake in from us, the Bloodthirsty General Public ( referred to as the B.G.P.) After all, it is us that fuel the making of such games. We buy and play them with such enjoyment that developers have no real choice but to make what's good for their income.
Are war games goood or bad? I say bad, but I am eager to her your opinions on the matter too.

If today is next tuesday, then yes. However, I greatly suspect that it is in fact Wednesday, and the game won't start for some 6 days. Plus I'll need to buy a chess board.

as in now?

OK, I'll play, but here's the deal:

Tonight I'm watching football. Tomorrow I'm going to Wales for the weekend, where internet access will be limited at best, and more realistically non-existant. I'll be back on Monday night, but will likely be too tired to play, so it'll have to commence next tuesday.

i'll be happy to ref that :-)
i'll post up the latest board pics and the like if you want... should be interesting

The game would take ages. PLus:

Can't start tonight, as I'm celebrating/watching the football in the pub.
I'm quite pointedly crap at chess.

Well no. I cant play either, as im at uni. What we will do is use a real chess board, and we post our moves on here. B4 to B5 etc.

I certainly don't want to play while I'm at work.

Is that your way of saying you dont want to play?

Anyone who hasn't read the Art of War is missing out.

Im not that great either, so we are about even.
