Shooters

• Like:  Customizable controls
• Like:  Clever enemy AI for increased difficulties
• Like:  Carrying many (more than 2) fun weapons
• Like:  Regenerating health (favors the skilled)
• Like:  Little or no plot and not ashamed of it.
• Like:  Great plot
• Like:  Unlockables for single player but not multiplayer.  I don't want to have to play the game to perfect to have a blast with friends.
• Like:  Split-screen local multiplayer.
• Like:  Split-screen and online co-op.
• Dislike:  Forced plot that tries to be great and fails
• Dislike:  Stupidly long boss battles that force you to do the same thing over and over.  After the first 3 times we get it.  Don't make us do the same thing 40 times to win the battle.
• Dislike:  Secrets no one will realistically find during the course of playing the game.
• Dislike:  Weapons no one will actually use because they suck.

Is this kind of what you're looking for Twesterm?  I'll do it for each genre if this is what you want.
