FPS and Racers.

I'm god at Mahjong, too.

first person or 3rd person shooters or games that involve the slaughtering of zombies

anything action adventury

everything

shooters and if I play it regualrly, FIFA/PES.

and although I'm not really good at it, I love strategy games like Civ, Europa Universalis, etc.

I tend to specialize in buying games I don't seem to get around to playing.  And yes, there is a bit of the state of denial on my part.  I will tell you over and over I am not a collector.  Take the fact on how few games I have listed in my collection on here as evidence for that.

TPS and Racers

I also find myself attracted to these "good games" you speak of. Coincidence?

Other than that, I'd say that I have a soft spot for Platformers. Mario, Sonic, Banjo... mmm mmm good.

Specialty - Fighting Games - Tekken, soon to be BlazBlue as well

Favorite Genre - RPG's in general, jRPG to be specific.

Tactical and strategic knowledge that's needed in JRPG's is also considered skill.
