I only really play games on the X-Box or PS2, and when I do play games on my PC, they tend to be through and emulator and about 10 years old!.
I find creating stuff much more rewarding, I reckon I have some form of ADD, because I need something that keeps me thinking or I get bored easily. When making games your often just messing around with what you have, I think that's the most fun. When you get your AI started for instance, the first time your AI kills you it's an enormous buzz, the kind of buzz that most of us crave and the kind of buzz you can only really get with this type of hobby once you reach a certain level (like after releasing your first propper game).
I think that truly playable games still grab our attention, but how many of you have went out and bought a supposedly great PC game, installed it, played it once, then never looked at it again?. I tend to play co-op split-screen games mainly, because even if the game sucks, you can still play it with a mate and discover different ways to play it (like the run-me-down game in Halo for instance).
