- Smartass.

Anyway, mine would be:
1.) Stealth Games, closely followed by
2.) Realistic FPS games, and then by
3.) Renai/Visual Novel Games.

[Papaya]

1. Fighters - SO MUCH DEPTH!
2. Realistic FPS or Stealth
3. RTS

[Duo]

2D fighters, followed by platforming/action (think megaman, mario, etc.)

I'm like the only person here that doesnt like RPGs much

[Fate21]

First RPG(my favourite is too many to list) next is Sim and Survival Horror like Fatal Frame series.

[Shadow Kira01]

Mine would be ADV+RPG which is generally an RPG with visual novel elements. Personally, I prefer turn-based RPGs as opposed to the tactical ones which is way too time-consuming. When a battle takes over 30 minutes, I'd rather not play it.

[Cub-Sama]

RPG Final Fantasy, Eternal Sonata etc...
Action Adventure
Shooters

[Kyero Fox]

anything with some romance, death, character sacrafices... Screw it, anything thats like Mass Effect.

[DragoonKain3]

3) Fighting - having been brought up by SFII, while I can't say I'm totally addicted to the genre anymore, I still play it from time to time if I feel like 'action' for the day

2) 4x - A dying genre, but still a blast to play, especially those in a fantasy setting. Favourite is Master of Magic.

1) RPGs - I collect them as my hobby. Absolute favourite is Tactics Ogre, followed by the Persona series.


Honorable mention goes to Frontier: Elite II. Loved its Newtonian physics engine, as its the only space trading game I've played that used that.

[SonOfHeaven]

Fighting games. Always room for improvement and doesn't get boring. I still play Tekken 3, Darkstalkers, Fist of the North Star etc. Currently playing BlazBlue and KOF XII until Tekken 6 comes out.

[kuroishinigami]

1. turn based strategy, but with good storyline(FF Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Brigandine),
2 RPG with great story(Shadow Hearts, Suikoden I,II, III)
3. Historical strategy simulation game(ROTK, Nobunaga Ambition)

But I do agree that fighting and sports game is the only genre you won't get bored playing for a while(as long as you have someone playing against)

[Solais]

Let's see:

1. Shmups, basically from the top-down variety (danmaku shooters are a new love)
2. Metroidvanias
3. Basic 2D side-scrolling platformers
4. RPGs
5. Old-school FPS (like the first two Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, or the newer Serious Sam and Painkiller)
6. RTS (also biased to the "old-school" ones, so not those like Warhammer 40k, where you have to capture points, and stuff)

[Crimrui]

1. RPGs (Japanese mostly with anime inspired characters and most if not all others that Bioware creates)

2. Survival Horror (weather it only contains a bit or a lot of survival stuff it doesn't matter, I love it all from Silent Hill games to Resident Evil series)

3. Action adventure (Spider-man or Ninja Gaiden type of games)

4. Platformer (well not exactly but I added this only because of Mega Man X series as I'm a huge fan)

[RWBladewing]

1. JRPG - Especially the Tales and Star Ocean series, aside from SO4 anyway (Exception: games like DQ with minimal story and a heavy emphasis on grinding. I won't play this type of game at all and it's likely my least favorite genre)

2. Strategy RPG - Games like Valkyria Chronicles or Fire Emblem. (Again, an exception for games like Disgaea and Phantom Brave, I refuse to grind in a single player game)

3. Action Adventure - Anything from Ninja Gaiden to sandbox-style games like GTA

4. FPS - Pretty much any but I prefer more tactical games as opposed to hectic action

5. Fighting - BlazBlue and Soul Calibur

I'll actually play anything aside from sports, racing, puzzle, or single-player grinding rpgs though.

[Veronin]

Sandbox RPG and Survival Horror, definitely.

[Woopzilla]

While I play everything I'll have to say Survival Horror is my favourite by far, everything else has no real set order. RPGs, Beat 'em ups, Strategy, FPS... I play everything, it just depends more on how good the game is rather than genre.

Survival Horrors should be in style of Silent Hills, atmosphere over lame jump-scares (which were sadly introduced in Homecoming, but then again it wasn't by Team Silent).

[Umandsf]

I've always had a thing (and probably ever will) for good, old-fashioned platformer.

[HyenaMan]

-RPGs(both turn-based or action rpgs like the witcher,star wars:kotor, fable,jade empire etc)
-graphic adventures(like monkey island series, grim fandango, etc)
And multi-player fighting games like soul calibur/fight night, or football games like pro evolution soccer
