Ended up voting for almost all of em... is that bad?

[Guest Sotha]

FPS: HALO.

I just can't get enough of designing my own games and stuff. It takes just the perfect amount of creativity and ingenuity for working within their system. I love it.

RTS: I can't really say.

I played Starcraft. That was a lot of fun, but I haven't really played anything since. I think Strategy in general would be a better choice. It would then include TBS's and I could say Advanced Wars, etc. I mean, I'm even designing my own board-based TBS right now. That probably says enough.

RPG: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

All the way. By far, my favourite game EVER. It was my entrance into the Elder Scrolls series when I started playing a couple years after it was released, and it stole my heart (I mean, just look at my username). So so SO much better than Oblivion!

If you are a RPG fan, and you haven't played Morrowind, seriously... do! If you can get past its aged gameplay and graphics (which, aside from the physics system, are the only things that Oblivion does better. But, if you play the PC version, you can probably find mods to quell any problems you have with it... graphics, gameplay, most anything, really), you will be entranced. The world is so immersive, the depth is amazing (but you would most likely need the guide to actually do everything well. The game is not for the casual player in that respect). Hopefully you'll find it as beautiful as I have.

Lets see the games that I have played recently- Aion, Heroes of Newerth, Starcraft, used to play WoW when it was hard, Counterstrike, Amplitude/Frequency (ps2, predates DDR and Guitar Hero). I stayed away from consoles save the 2 ps2 games listed.

I can go on and on but I like these for the most part. Games used to be my escape, for a long time. Now I don't play so much. Its still fun but its so frustrating.

My Blog-Check it out some important things have gone up

Eh I play all kinds of games, mostly I fall back on my emulators like gameboy games I had and nes stuff but today I've been playing half life all day. Running through hl2 cause it all of a sudden decides to stop doing the vista blue ring of death. Used to play a ton of wow, lately just Lord of the rings online. Really just waiting for that to go free to play so I get back at it lol.

Overall

FPS-Half life is my favorite I've played.

RPG- I like the older final fantasy games, ff7 and 8 being my favorites. Chrono Cross extremely fun, Morrowind and Oblivion were fantastic. Morrowind being obviously better

Fighters-I used to play alot of mortal kombat but that got very old for me when my brother just spammed the raiden flying attack nonstop.

Wut no platformers on the list? Gah the beginning of good gaming >.> lol well guess that's other.

Other-Super mario world 3 epic awesome don't care who you are, best mario game out there. Super mario World follows close in hand

I just love my emulators though, nothing like curling up in your hoodie and playin some Legend of zelda or Ultima runes of virtue for the game boy

[Guest Kieri]

I don't game all that much anymore, but of those categories I've only really liked RTS, RPG, and puzzle games. I also like music games, which were not listed. At times, I've done a bit of social FPS when I went to the LAN center in my college town, but I never played them without friends.

RTS - Primarily Starcraft with a little Warcraft thrown in

RPG - Dragon Age: Origins is a lot of fun (as was Neverwinter Nights) and I'm a big fan of the SNES-PS1 age of console RPGs

Puzzle - There haven't been any good puzzle games that I can remember since the original NES, but Adventures of Lolo 1-3 will always hold a special place in my heart

Music - I still play RockBand 1-2 and DDR

[Guest sarah f]

The only games I have time to play lately is on my I-phone. They are Word Ace and mafia wars.

[Guest Ev.]

I love gaming, originally just cause I liked it, then as a sort of escapism from the horrible nature of reality. Recently become really involved with it though on a play-it-for-fun level rather than to escape.

Anyway, I used to play loads of RTS games but I eventually lost most of my interest in them moving on to playing RPGs alot more. Started of with the Final Fantasy games and gradually grew increasingly weary of their combat systems, the stories and characters though were lovely! Lost interest in that series with FFX however... though that was fine as I had started playing more western RPGs by then. Morrowind I spent soooo much time playing. I literally filled the PC up with mods for it lol. Erm, anyway, so RPGs are my favorite followed by FPSs (online only really) and some stealth games (Thief series! <3). I'm also a long time fan of the Tenchu series, though Assassin's Creed has kinda replaced that now as Tenchu doesn't evolve or improve enough.

Mostly play on the PS3 as I'm not a fan of the Xbox chat features (I don't do voice chat, for obvious reaons). Takes so long just to view and reply to messages, bleh! So mostly PS3. I used to play MMOs alot and loved them because console games are not much good for roleplaying sadly, with others anyway. WoW, Lotro and AoC were my MMOs.

[Guest TaraD]

I love MMO's!!!!!!!!!!!

[Flint]

Fps games FTW!

and fighting games

and puzzle games.

[Guest AlishaToMe]

Rpg games are just the best.

Currently playing Dragon age, i will not tell you how many times i've completed it so far because i'll look like an addict

Other favorites include neverwinter nights, 1&2 plus all expansions, Baldurs gate (if any rpg fan has not played this game, why not?), final fantasy 7 (still the best one imo)

I think i may have played warcraft once or twice too.

For RTS games my current fave is Dawn of war soulstorm, or Dawn of war2, lost many hours to the C&C franchise as well.

[Guest Chloe Renee]

FPS: Star Wars Battlefronts

Halo Reach Currently my addiction, a buddy and I beat the campaign on normal and are going through it on Legendary now. Plus the daily challenges have me plugging away trying to unlock stuff.

Other: Rockband 2 great party game, I can't wait to try out RB3 in person.

[Guest 1up]

Puzzle: Best description for metroid and zelda, outside of "adventure".

RPG: Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Lufia, etc...

Other: Platformers (mario), zelda (whatever that is), random little applications such as painting studios, music studios, etc.

...and I get called a game-nerd...

I just play zelda, pokemon, mario and metroid... D:

of course, there is the odd game i play in between instalments (currently monster hunter tri, but it's getting boring...)

I hate shooters...

[Guest TaraD]

...and I get called a game-nerd...

I just play zelda, pokemon, mario and metroid... D:

Then that makes me one too. Pokemon is my guilty pleasure.

[Guest Selena Soh]

FPS: Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2. Valve is great

RTS: Dawn of War. I didn't get dow2, though.

Puzzle: Portal

RPG: Oblivion, Morrowind, Guild Wars, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Sacred

Fighting: Almost all of the above

Reasons: TF2 is so fun to play, especially with good communication, or when everyone just messes around with HLDJ, or spycrabs. L4d2 versus is great, but it sucks how you can't get achievements with the gore enabled on the AU version. Portal is a very interesting idea, which has been expanded upon in portal 2, though I haven't played P2. I played morrowind ages ago, and got oblivion as soon as it came out, then returned it and bought it again in GOTY when I had a computer that could run it. Sacred kept me and my family occupied for years! The main shortcoming is multiplayer, since you can't all receive skills for quest rewards like in Diablo 2. VtMB has good vampires, and that's all I need. Dawn of war I played because it's wh40k.

I hated KotOR and Starcraft, due to stalemates in multiplayer occurring too often, and KotOR because I had to tell my party exactly what to do, which was also why I don't like baldur's gate.

[Guest flux_capacitor]

All kinds! Mostly first-person-shooters lately. :3 The F.E.A.R. series and such.

[Guest Vixen Amber]

Play lots, good games, bad games, games of the night designed for fright, games that leave you sweaty and tired, games that if your boss caught you playin, ya would get fired. Oh video games video games you are so awesome and great, for I'll be playin zelda til I turn 108. :3

[Guest April92]

I play many many games but right now it's been mostly fps, shooters, rpg, Platformers, and Survival horror games.

FPS: I'm starting to lose my love for this genre because it seems to be the only games that are being made. But I do like Team Fortress 2, Perfect Dark, and Duke Nukem 3D. I also like the Halo games too.

RPG: They are ok, I like the action oriented RPG style like that of the new Parasite Eve game on the PSP but I do like some of the turn based ones too. My favorites are Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario 1 and 2, Fable, and the Parasite Eve games.

Other - Platformers. These games are my favorite video game genre, they are just so much fun to play and many of the animal characters are cute too. The latest Platformer game I played was Croc 2 (I finally beat it ).

Other - Survival Horror games. I love playing these games late at night with all the lights out, it makes the atmosphere even creepier. My favorite Survival Horror games are the Fatal Frame games, and Silent Hill 1 - 3.

Other - Beat em ups games. Some of these can be quite fun. I really like Battle Toads and Double Dragons, as well as God Hand, and Breakdown.

Anyone surprised that most transgender gamers like to play RPG's ? I can definitely relate to losing one's self in a game, hence the more comfortable I am with expressing myself, the less I feel like playing games.

I must admit though, Vampire: Bloodlines was fantastic. Buggy as hell, but superb story line and vocal acting.
