What is your favorite genre?

And how come?

Me: Shooter games are my most favorite, because I don't like to have to do a lot of quick thinking while I'm in the middle of a game, and all shooter games require is that you point (preferrably at the other team, in team games ) and shoot and evade incoming shots.

I like "God" games to an extent because it's so funny building up a thriving civilization and then tearing it down with a few rocks (Black & White). I was never able to get very far in that game for some reason that I don't know of...

I literally went into Doom, kicking and screaming. I actually forced myself to buy a copy of Doom][ to see what all the fuss was (mind you Tie Fighter, the very successful space sim was making good #'s at the time). Fell in love with D2 and never looked back. Sims I rank 2nd and RTS/RPG 3rd.

shooters are great, but I absolutley could not live without sports games. Most of all Baseball&Football...and always EA!! Although, i am waiting for WSB2k2 for Dreamcast...last years was the worst ever...i'm hoping they fix it.

Where's RPG.....i voted adventure thinking its closest to RPG.

I am an old skool Dungeons & Dragons geek.

I fixed it for you Jim, I never really liked the term Adventure, I can't think of a game that fits in that group even.

Me, I like the shooters now and then, but I'll always be an RTS man at heart!

I knew I'd forget one

btw, Adventure games = Zelda, etc

 

[Gonzo]

Thought based games just beat the crap out of "how fast can you punch the fire button" games

 

[brainsoft]

I think of Zelda as an RPG still, even though it isn't technically, by the old fashioned definition.

I hope you're aware that "'God' Games" as you put it are Simulators...

and RTS...

and with the constant blurring of generes, especially along the RPG/Adventure, and FPS/Adventure frontiers, it get's harder and harder every day

I classify Adventure as the games of Lucas Arts: Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, Monkey Island. An I vote for RPG as best genre. I only recently was introduced in the style, with Baldur's Gate 2, but i loved.

I've been playing Tie Fighter since I bought it the day it came out...I've been the right hand of the Emporer for years now but it's a battle between C&C games and Lucas Arts at my house now.

Tactical FP shooters like Deus Ex, Flashpoint, IGI.
Also 3D action adventures (Tomb Raider, Heretic 2).
