» Try Quake 1
Since you mentioned gameplay vs graphics, if you're up for a super challenge, try finding some folks to teach you how to play Quake 1 online (Quakeworld). You may have to look on IRC (quakenet) to find someone to help you download a client and start learning, but I believe the gaming experience would be deeper than anything you've mentioned (although maybe Civ 3 has some good depth). There are people still dedicated playing Quakeworld for a reason :)

I suspect that your primary language is not English, and I didn't learn anything from reading this article that I didn't already know from soccer in real life. In other words, where's the part about how to effectively play the actual video game?

» Thanks for getting the competitive voice out :)
Nice article. Someone who appreciates the depth of a competitive deathmatch game and refuses to allow gaming to reduce to mindless entertainment, taking it more like a chess match than watching a Schwarzenegger film.

For those of you initially wondering why someone would play a game, or much less write an article around a game released in 1999, this is why! There is more to deathmatch gaming than clicking on the player closest to you!
