What's your favorite gaming genre(s)?

[Ja Di ksw]

This is such a great question, and I really can't think of any single genre that would be my favorite. It all depends on the mood I'm in, but that can change from day to day (or hour to hour). Here's a few that I definitely like, though:

Puzzle, Epic Quest (Metroid Prime 3, Legend of Zelda: PH/TP, God of War, etc)
Platformers (Super Mario Bros - Super Mario Galaxy, Megaman 2, Contra 4, etc)
Fighting (Tekken Tag, Smash Bros, etc)
Arcade -as in, non-realistic- Racing (Excite Truck, Mario Kart, etc)
RTS (Starcraft 2 needs to come out before I murder someone)

And, to be honest, many more but I've already listed 5 (in random order, and possibly not even top 5), so I'll stop.


No wonder I can't even keep up with games coming out that I want to play!

I'm mega picky these days. In order of genre preference-

FPS - HL2 and friends, UT2004, Dooms, Quakes
RPG - Pokemon, PoPoLoCrois, FFT and FF7
Racing - Mario Kart, F-Zero et al.
Fighting - Street Fighter (any), Smash Bros, Tekken

But at the moment I'm just playing 1 handed DS games only (nerve injury)

I'm sorta picky with the games I play.

FPS: Resistance, Halo
Action/Adventure: Uncharted, God of War
RPG: Final Fantasy (right now on Crisis Core - AMAZING game)

That's about it and I mostly play RPG games.

Shadow of the Guitar Wipeout

Sounds like a game I'd play.....but I'm more of a Silent Primal of Kri's Evil(ICO Solid SOCOM edition) type of person.

Did you ever play Ghosthunter 2ny? It was the teams follow up game to the awesome primal and it too was an astounding game, but Im not sure if it ever went stateside...


edit.. just checked. Seems Namco released it in the states instead of Sony ? Bizzare

 

[2nyRiggz]

^Yeah I played it before but it wasn't really a bit thing over here but just like Primal it was a sleeper gem.


I love games that go under the radar....those are the real gems.

Never heard of Ghosthunter. If it's from the same team that did Primal I'm gonna have to find me a copy.

It's pretty telling [and maybe a little sad] when you know you can go pick up a game without worrying what platform it's on because you know you've got the console.
