"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 think Breed is released next May, and if what I here from a few other forums, Halo could be released as late as December next year! Don't know if that's true though.

To be honest though, I think Breed will be better online, seeing as that's the area the game is being developed for. No doubt I'll own both though, so it doesn't really bother me which will be better than the other.

When is Breed released? is it out before Halo?

Planetside does look good, though I think Breed could be better. Certainly looks better, graphics wise anyway.

I'm a fan of Star Wars games so i think i'll take a look at Galaxies, Has anyone seen the screen shots of Planetside? I think that'll do quite well being a multi-player game only.

The trouble I have with MMORPGs is the monthly subscription, it really does put me oof buying the game, although Galaxies does look very appealing.

I love games like Everquest and Never Winter Nights but just don't have the time to play them :(
Will make time for Star Wars Galaxies when it comes out though !

Really gotten into FPS over the last year. The Sims and Champ Manager and that's basically all i play apart from maybe the odd MMORPG game

Theres really only really two or three stratagy games that i like and they are the all time classic StarCraft (hope they make sequel) and WarCraft III and also BattleZone 2 but i don't know if that comes under the stratagy genre or FPS. probably both actually.

Stratagy - Because I like games where I have to think to win.

FPS - Because they're fun, and quite involving at times.

RPGs - Not my favourite genre, but I do like playing these just to break once in a while from the stratagy and FPS titles I so often play.

There are other genre's of course, but those are the three I invest most time in.
