I hate platformers, they are so simple yet difficult, the skill is measured by the time you've played them and how can you memorize different parts. So it's just repetition.
On the other hand I love RTS games, or strategy games in general, because you have to use your brain, be quick and multitask. Which are things that can be used back in real life and can add something to your RL experience.
MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising
