Strongly disagree:

Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Not a genre, but in general games that become a chore and/or a sick and not enjoyable drug, like FarmVille.

It's either FPS or MMORPG's. I rarely play FPS and I never play MMORPG's.

Obviously this is by no means the worst genre, but I tend not to care for those Tetris-esque type of games. Not sure why, I just never really got into it... really the only time I'd play Tetris was at the dentist as he was nice enough to have a gameboy for kids and I was not about to be the first kid to complain about being handed a gameboy while waiting for the dentist lol

Speak for yourself.

By this logic, one could say the same about any genre. And I don't mean just gaming, I mean any genre period.

I am speaking for myself, I thought it was the whole point of this thread.

To me it's the same as real life versions of those activities, and playing a racing game is no more exciting than watching cars driving in circles for several hours.
