I should vote for all of the above... really... I like RPG, like Zelda -the oldies- but I was addicted to Street Fighter and King of Fighters for many many years... and then I get into Halo and Metal Gear... so is hard to choose... also I was fan of Age of Empires and Starcraft -still waiting for SC2- so... is difficult to choose... I vote for fighting genre just it has no votes.. jejeje...

Really proggy soundtrack too. Clap

For me, RPGs all the way. I love MMORPGs and RTS too but I don't play video games half as much now as I did when those 2 genres didn't even exist.

Long live SNES' Squaresoft games! Thumbs Up


Agreed wholeheartedly!  I'm not a huge RPG fan, but Chrono Trigger and the FF games for SNES are absolutely spectacular. 

Speaking of FF, since I love FF's IV-VI, I wanna play FF VII badly since I hear it's one of the best RPG's you'll ever play.  Unfortunately, it's damn near impossible to acquire a copy.


It's not that hard if you look on the internet...

...and are willing to pay. LOL

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

I worked harder on that game than any class in my first semester junior year.  LOL

And why isn't "Leisure Suit Larry" in category by itself?  Wink

How is Morrowind? I have Oblivion for the Xbox 360 which I love but I still have yet to play Morrowind. I do know there is a HUGE difference graphics wise and there are some differences in terms of skills and leveling, plus the fact it takes place in Vvardenfell.


I play Morrowind for X-Box.

After the first two times I played it, I sold it.

I bought it again later (for some unknown reason) and became addicted to it for a manner of months.  I realize it just took some getting used to.  I imagine if you have Oblivion, Morrowind would be unnecessary, but it's game loaded with depth (and hard stuff- so much so you might need online help to get through most of it).

All of the above
 but I voted FPS because it is what I play the most often.
Half-life series, Bioshock, Deadspace, Portal, Counterstrike, Team Fortress 2, COD 4 and so on.

FPS are great, but they're so overdone and sometimes get boring.  I guess its Action-Adventure for me.  I used to love to play those old lucasarts games Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Day of the Tentacle, the original Sam and Max.  That stuff was great.  As was the Dark Forces/Kyle Kattarn adventures, but those were basically 1st/3rd person shooters.  
I really enjoyed playing Uncharted in recent times. And Mario Galaxy was fun.

Ehn...equally RPG and FPS. If I play an RPG for days, eventually I'll just wanna get a gun and cap some foos.
