    The Subject says it all. Just curious to see what everybodies favorite genre of game they like.

    Mine would be between 2:

    First Person Shooters
    Massive Multi-player Online Role-Playing-Games

    Maybe DP can make this into a poll

    Default I would have to go with action titles/strategy games/arcade

    I love action titles like Rogue Leader(Gamecube) and Strategy games like Front Mission 3(Playstation). I am a wierd one, I mostly sit and play old arcade games like Robotron 2084 and Galaga!

    I always prefer a well done action title, whether thats an FPS, a side-scrolling adventure, or a fighting game. I know it covers 3 genres, but I can't pick just one...

    I'd have to say that my favorite genre is RPG. I don't exactly have as much time as I used to, so I don't play RPG's as much, but they are still my favorite.

    Office-work sims.

    And after that, either shmups or giant-robots-with-guns games.

    I used to be huge on RPGs. But these days, the storylines have gotten too complex, the battle systems have gotten too arbtitrary, and the storylines have gotten cliche.

    I probably tie for my favorite genre, between platformers and shmups (especially space-based shmups). The always offer a challenge, there's usually some level of unpredictability, and you don't have to memorize a manual to play.

    Puzzle games, games where you put together a puzzle and especially when you have to race someone. But they make very few of those , so I must be the only person.

    I love RPGs the most of all but Fighters are a VERY close second.
