doesn't matter so long as the game itself as good, like right now, i'm madly in love with Mount & Blade, that takes place in medieval times (also the renaissance for one of them), but i also love the Halo Series
doesn't matter. those i like the least are games playing in this age. especially when they try to be reality. why play those games if you can do the same in real life =S
for the rest it's both fun. elder scrolls, mass effect, spore. their all good.
