I voted Shooters - by that i mean FPS as I have had my fill with them.

Why?

- 5 hour single players with little replay value.

- Have played hours of online and am very bored by it now.

I like TPS though - Uncharted series, et cetra and I want more RPG's, please!



This is not an exit.

As many have said before me sports. I just do not get the point. I don't find them fun or entertaining; I wouldnt even use a sports game as a paperweight.

Simulators - Why would I want to simulate real-life in a video game? Boring!

That or sports games I also find very boring.



Racing Simulators - I do like Mario Kart and Burnout but just thinking about playing a racing game that doesn't involve bananas or blowing stuff up makes me sleepy...



Out of those it's strategy games like halo wars and ruse, although valkyria chronicles and tropico 3 were great.

Sports games (excluding motion sports) and fighters are far more boring to me, followed by fake flying games like hawx, real flight simulators are great.

I have to say FPS. With the boom the FPS genre has seen this generation, I gave a couple of games a go and I have to say I wasn't impressed at all. Maybe two games is not much to judge with but I have the feeling this genre is not for me.

First I tried Bioshock after the amazingly good reviews it received, and especially because they highlighted the atmosphere and story of the game, and I like that. Completed it, didn't know what the fuss was about. It's got a plot twist that didn't impress me, and the atmosphere of the game wasn't that breathtaking either to me. Bored to death.

Then I played KZ3, because I had to write a game review for the university paper and it was the main new release. With this game I had more fun than with Bioshock. At least it was mildly entertaining while it lasted, tough I played it in easy so i took it as a kind of like an arcade... Completed it, and though I passed the time with it alright, I didn't have the feeling I would buy or even rent this game normally.

So yeah, not into FPS...



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Racing games only because every other genre is easily superior, not because I dislike them.

I would have to say RPG because I've never played one. I don't hate RPGs, they're just not my kind of games.



                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Sports games...

Just no. I don't want to buy a new game EVERY YEAR with such minor updates that it isn't worth the price...

That or Music
