Everyone has their favorite genres and series in gaming but how often do you play a game that is completely out of the norm for you. 

For me I do it quite often because I review for this webstie, I don't think I would have played Disney All Star Party, N- Strike Elite, or even Disgaea Infinite on my own but the new experience they each brought was welcome.

terrible at football games and one of the groups of friends would normally play them I normally get destroyed. lol.

edit: how often? very rarely don't normally see them lot much anymore.

Heck I play iPhone games... I don't have a norm... I'm a slut!  >_>

I love RPGs.  Everything from WRPGs to JRPGS, MUDS to MMOs.  This is just about all that i play.

I will pick up the occasional adventure/action game or even sports game.  I almost missed out on BGE on the PS2 just because of the type of game and it became one of my favorites. 

Same goes for FPSs.  I am not a big fan, but I have definitely played a few that made me question my dislike of the genre.

FPS normally aren't my cup of tea but Metroid Prime 3 is one of my favorite games this gen and I'm probably going to end up picking up Portal 2. Also on another note I basically have Blazblue to thank for single handedly getting me into the fighter genre.

I played tomb raider... because I heard it had better puzzles than uncharted. and now I like it more than uncharted. I dunno if that counts.

I played persona 3 because I say the guy evoking his head and I thought that was cool. So I went on another limb and I did play sakura wars. I don't want to say anything negative about it. But that type of JRPG is not my thing. I played it cause it got good reviews... and I didn't like it at all.

My comfort zone isn't really a particular genre, and it's hard to really classify what it is off the top of my head, but:

Whenever I step out of my comfort zone, I'm always extremely extremely disappointed. So I'm never doing it again. EVER.

I just know what kind of games I'll like and what kind I won't like, so I'll trust myself from now on.

I play all types of games as long as they are good. Whether i finish them or not is a different story.

Look at the games in my sig (last five games played on each console). Does it look like I have a comfort zone to you?
