MIDI Interface Question

I'm getting ready to try learning some stuff about MIDI and sequencing and need to get a MIDI interface. My soundcard at the present doesn't have a MIDI interface, but there are game ports available on my PC motherboard.

Would it be better to use the game port as a MIDI interface or get one of those USB interface units (for instance, the MAudio Uno)?

Thanks,

At this point it's a six of one and half a dozen of the other, but if you want to move to the next stage with midi you probably will have no use for the soundcard interface.

If you think you will want to move beyond the first stages, the smart money would probably go into a USB/firewire interface.
 
Thanks for the reply, SSS.

I probably should have mentioned what I'm wanting to do. I have a Proteus FX synth module that I want to learn how to connect and use with Cubase to learn how to do some sequencing (mainly drum parts).
