    I play FPS's for the majority now but my heart is still with Platformers. They are the only games I truly have fun playing and can replay them over and over.

    I don't really have a preference.

    I play nearly anything.
    First and third person shooters.
    RTS
    Racing sims.
    Combat flight sims.
    Footie games.
    Fighting games.
    Platformers.
    RPG.
    Puzzle games.

    Everything bar the Sims and MMO's.

    FPS>Strat>Adventure


    MMORPGs are for people who aren't good at games.
