What's your favourite genre of gaming?

Mine is FPS.

I choose fighting. But my other two favourite genres are racers and JRPGs.

Welcome to the forum.

Platformers or adventure titles. Then again, the definitions of both are evolving all of the time.

Strategy.

I would say action adventure, but when i look at my gaming habits, its Arcade Racing.

I'm a sucker for blowing gooseberry fool up.

Platform, adventure and racing are my favourites.

Gandalf, old bean, why are adventure and arcade part of the same option?

They both begin with A.

I play play FPS/Action games the most, but I don't really have a favourite genre. Racing games are easily my least favourite, particularly sim racers.

I was wondering the same thing

If there was one option for Platformers, Adventure Games, RPGs and all games that mix elements from those three genres, I'd vote for that.

RPG for me, although I do like FPS which makes Fallout 3 great because its both

I was just thinking games like Silent Hill, Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider are like arcade adventure type games. We rarely get arcade games on console anymore, I couldn't really think of any to put as a single genre?!

See, there's a point there. Different genres of games are not so easily defined anymore. Games these days 'tend to throw different parts together. FPS with RPG elements (Fallout3 as Rubix pointed out)

i say sport, though i like to class driving/racing in that category. except for "sunday driver simulator", obviously....

Ah, so action-adventure stuff? When I see adventure I think Broken Sword and the like, y'see.

Anyway, to answer the question I like most games, really. Bit of this bit of that. But if I had to choose: adventure (Broken Sword kind), action-adventure and FPSs would probably head up the list. I like sports too, and rhyth... ah strawberry float, I can't believe I've done this.

Adventure, FPS, Platforming, and action.

That genre is Action-Adventure, nothing to do with arcade. It also covers a ridiculous amount of games.

Poll changed for the moaners.....

I'll vouch for platformers. I keep going back to those games long after completion, which I don't do as much with other genres.
