is it recomended to create games with rebol or would
it be much easier to do it in a different language and
only use rebol for what its best at (programming the internet).

While REBOL's graphics capabilities are adequate for simple 2D displays,
writing a 1st person 3D shoot-em up type of game with dolby 5.1 quality
sound is probably going to require something more low-level [like C or
assembler]. ;)
On the other hand, using REBOL's draw, effects and sound facilities is
probaby sufficient for anything less demanding (a 3D chess program is well
within reach). The REBOL script library has a number of simple game
scripts (http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/search.r?filter=games)
which lets you see what can be done.

Some of the better REBOL games aren't in the script library
Doc Kimbel's reBOX
Frank Sievertsen's Tetris
Alan's card games
(or at least I couldn't find them there).

Cyphre's Arcadia demo, and Oldes's(?) ReBOX with a scrolling world.
So, yes, REBOL is great for games that don't require a high refresh
rate on the display.
