So to all the gamers out there, what's your favorite type of video game? I personally enjoy a good first person shooter or action-adventure game.

| I'll play practically anything but ironically my favourite genres are 2 that you missed from your list, point and click adventure games and scrolling shooters. |

Probably action/adventure, but there are a lot of strategy games and RPG's close to my heart.

Based on my love of The Sims and Roller Coaster Tycoon, I'm going with simulator games. -------------  <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

It's been many many years since I've been hooked on a video game. I think the primary cause of my losing interest was getting to a part where I was stuck and couldn't make it to the next level. Carmageddon Carpocalypse Now and Descent 3 in particular.

picking RPG. I'm talking about PC ones though - Ultima Underworld and Morrowind are two of the best games ever. =)
of course, Bubble Bobble is my favourite game but I can't work out what genre it is. ------------- FREEDOM OF SPEECH GO TO HELL |

Tough call between RPG and Strategy, but based on my love for the Total War series alone, I'm going with Strategy. And why isn't "Leisure Suit Larry" in category by itself?  |

Gonna have to go with RPG, my mind can't think fact enough to play all the others very well. ------------- "Market value is irrelevant to intrinsic value." Arnold Schoenberg |

Really proggy soundtrack too. 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!  -------------

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. -------------

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

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.

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. |

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). |

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. -------------

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... ------------- |
