What all game genres do you enjoy playing and how would you order them?

[sin2beta]

The best sports games are ones that don't actually emulate the sport very well lol NBA Jam, NFL Blitz...uhh...probably the Mario and Mega Man soccer games.  Mario generally had fun takes on sports stuff.

They may not add much each year, but sports games are fun. I like NCAA Football, NBA 2K, and Tiger Woods. They're fun.

I like sports games too.

Oh and the sports game bashing thing is sooooooo tiresome. Millions upon millions are sold every year so they are popular or everyone wouldn't parrot the same tired cliche of lamenting that they find so many of them in thrift stores.

I don't like sports games, either. But I don't like sports in general. So for me to play a sports game would be akin to any of us playing Barbie Explorer. I do enjoy a good boxing game, wrestling game, Arcade-y Racer, or Tony Hawk game, though. Just not the traditional sports games like football, baseball, or basketball.

You don't happen to also greet people by saying goodbye, and depart with a enthusiastic hello? Because we are polar opposites.

Thread wasn't intended to bash genres. Actually, if people read what I posted. I said just exclude genres you don't like, and order ones you do in most favorite to least. Least favorite is not the same as most hated, or never played.

LOL I'm definitely the opposite of most here. Probably because I'm older than most here and grew up with the systems of the 70's and 80's and the genre's they introduced. I started getting out of console gaming in the mid-90's specifically because I didn't care for the new style of game being introduced and although I do own and enjoy games on the newer consoles, they're very selective and certainly not the ones that most people today enjoy. I don't own any super mario, zelda, COD, or anything that other's consider must haves.

I'm sure you didn't but it seems to happen regardless. Tis the nature of man

Aha. You started to get out of it when I started to get into it, pretty much. For me, games have always been about unrealistic fantasy worlds. That's just the kind of content I love to play. Never was a big fan of things that simulate actuality.
