Love the Metroidvania style games- focused 2d gameplay/light exploration/rpg upgrade and item elements/detailed 2d artwork, etc (the guy who invented the first metroid is genius).

Adventure games. More specifically, 3D platformers. PS2 had tons Jak, Sly, Ratchet and this gen has been very scarce for good ones. But it is still my favourite genre just because they never take themselves seriously.

Action, Adventure and RPG's.

Shooters and Sports are good too. Strategy on PC as well.

RPG's without a doubt. Value, replay value, depth, awesome game mechanics and controls (usually), good stories, cool characters and lots of games with incredible production values.
To this day, there hasn't been a single RPG that reaches Baldur's Gate II to the knee, I fear we will never see such a game again.
