Of course, for gaming, a very strong single core is actually better than multiple cores unless you manage to find games which are optimized specially to be able to take advantage of them. Which is why it managed to run "modern" games like Spore and Sins of a Solar Empire pretty decently even with my aging rig.
One of the examples I can provide of strategy games I simply cannot make to work is Blood Bowl. Got this game for Christmas... It's not even a very recent game, I think it got out several years ago... And my computer is outclassed in every point from the minimum requirements.
It is a very simple War Hammer football adaptation in which you hit the players to win. Why do I need such a powerful computer only to see blood come out of the bits I tear out from the other players, I have no idea.
(And yes, I actually tried the game briefly at a friend place. It really shows nothing even remotely impressive to warrant so much resource usage.)

Heh, that one is .. crap >.> From an engine view at least. I have tried it a few times, but no matter how nice it looks, and how deep the strategy part seems to go, it is just too demanding. But there have been bad apples all the time, we shall see how Firaxis fares with the UFO license. In a way, it is back at its original creators (as Firaxis is mostly made up of Sids and Microprose's old employees). Maybe someone does remember what made UFO utter fun
