If you've got people to play against locally, yes.  My few gaming friends are 
long distance.  We'd pay a lot more than $20/month to the phone companies.
Ideally, a game should have _all_ modes available, instead of just one or 
two. Play solo against computer opponents.  Play split-screen against the guy 
sitting next to you.  Play direct-connect against the guy across the room.  
Play modem-to-modem against the guy across town.  Play internet server 
against the guy across the country.
