This may sound weird, but I'm particularly fond of rail shooters, ala Panzer Dragoon and Star Fox. It's hard for it to be my favorite genre since it's such a rarity to find one nowadays. I'm also very fond of 2D side scrolling space shooters, ala Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun, which also happens to be a dying breed.
Out of current popular genres, I enjoy 2nd person shooters the most for gameplay, like Resident Evil 4, Gears of War and to a certain extent Splinter Cell. Great stories are so varied between multiple genres that it's hard to peg one down as my favorite. I go where the story is and brave the controls the best I can, kinda like Killer 7 and Shadows of Destiny, two of the best from last generation consoles.
