Use it for whatever games support it. The PC gaming industry really needs to move on from text messaging.

Basically any game that can be online can support a headset (Teamspeak, Ventrilo, etc).

Unless you have a really good surround-system, decent headphones are the way to go. Much better sound than regular stereo-speakers. Spooky games like System Shock 2, FEAR and Doom 3 are much scarier in the dark with HP.

What Artur 79 said. Any atmospheric game, in the dark of the night with headphones on is a real buzz.

i went from speakers to a headset about 2 years ago, and its just a better experience overall. You dont get distracted as easily, and sound is generally better.

The only games I use the microphone for has to be CS:S and voice chat (vent)
