"What Genre?"

Because i own a PC my favourate games tend to be First Person Shooters, Adventure and RPG's. I just want to know what other people prefer as i'm sure the majority will be FPS. This is to Multi Formats not just the PC.

My favourite genre is probably strategy followed by rpg and then fps.

i only really got into rpg three months ago when i bought divine divinity. its a brilliant game despite any reviews you may read.the way it's structured is brilliant with an evolving storyline which keeps to what youv'e done and the non-linear nature of the game. no set course so you can ne a theif ,merchant ,warrior anything you can think about. i also like diablo 2 but its to linear for me and its very biased toward you.

The first game i ever got for the pc was red alert and from that day on i have never loved any other game more. i have virtually all the c&c series plus dune 2 dune 2000 and emporer battle for dune. Now one of the best strategy games i've ever played is warzone 2100. It's the second most realistic game i've ever played and probably the first 3d strategy game. With reaserch and unit design it rivals the amount of features on modern strategy games and I love the way your'e main base is on a map which expands as you complete missions and having away missions to capture new technology. The only more realistic strategy game i have played is earth 2150 lost souls. which requires you to reload your units.

my favourite FPS has to be unreal tournament. brilliant online and you can play against bots by youself. it has so many mods aswell. its just pure fragging fun.

i love a bit of da old- fasioned point and click adventures. day of the tentacle, indy and the last crusade are brillient examples. now you can buy two for about a fiver!

Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max: Hit the Road are my faves.

I rather enjoyed the Monkey Island games, and Full throttle though that was a bit on the short side. I'm looking forward to full throttle 2 later next year, it should be great.

Er yeah i completed them years ago!

I tend to prefer Third Person Action titles (not Tomb Raider, I hate that game now!!!)and FPS games over anything else. A few tactical shooters and RTS games do grab my eye though, such as Splinter Cell or Impossible Creatures.

Do you like Jedi Outcast, thats a FPS/TFS? I think it's brialliant especially the choke hold where you can pick somebody up then shake em or bash em into a wall. Ha classic

I've still not got Outcast yet, though it is being sold for a mere £15 on play, so maybe I'll get in time for my new PC.

Believe me it's a really good game to invest in. I've had countless hours of fun with and i've just cpompleted it for the fifth time so i kind of know every little bit that will happen in the game and what to do.
