I can't imagine why.
I've posted the link here many times showing the Acid3 test results.
Even the "best" IE is total junk compared to what is next in line.
The *only* reason that IE still has any traction
is because some[1] corporate intranets depend on M$-specific junk.
If you're playing games at work, I'd say there are bigger issues to worry about.
On your home computer, it's duck soup to install a better browser.
...and the useage stats for the general public don't hold up WRT gamers.

Not only is it possible, you can install as many versions of IE as you want.[2]
Developers have been using this this trick for years
to see how their work looks under the several crappy browsers M$ released
(with each version of Internet Exploder rendering the code differently).
...and again:
Spoofing your stuff doesn't cure the issue that the stuff you are using is crap
and won't handle the newer extensions to the HTML, XHTML, CSS... specs.
[1] ...specified by clueless business types
who apparently were sleeping the day their schools covered "vendor lock-in".
[2] Just try that with a M$ OS.
