Downtime

Forget Championship Manager. If you really want to relax after a hard days work in the IT department you need IT manager III. This strategy game created by Intel could be bigger than World of Warcraft. It offers frustrated IT professionals the chance to escape into a fantasy world of, er, information technology. The aim of the game is  to keep on top of a never-ending stream of high-tech hiccups as servers go down, hapless users pour coffee into their lap top computers, and networks run out of bandwidth. If you do well you can rise through the ranks from an IT manager at a small business to become the CTO of a global enterprise. Just what you need after a hard day in the office.
