    It would be nice to have more options, as well as the ability to vote more than once, but I would go for FPS, Simulator closely follows.

        also add an option that relates to games like SimCity and Roller Coaster Tycoon. those are pretty dang fun. but my personal fav would definitely FPS.

            TPS!  There should be more options on this, though.  I find Role Playing Games particularly enjoyable.  Rocket Propelled Grenades too...

                I was already annoyed by the gnome.  I am even more annoyed at the Esurance ads, though.  I want to puke when I see them.

                      i guess so.
                      from what it says on Wikipedia: "RollerCoaster Tycoon (or often abbreviated RCT) is a series of computer games that simulate amusement park management"

                        fps is awesome, definetely the best, third person is old, but simulators are kinda fun.
                        Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them.

                              i'd say it was a RTS (Real Time Strategy) myself.
                              Age of Empires being the original RTS..   good fun, still it's not my favorite genre..   stuck between RPG and FPS..   and i'm guessing 'RPG' counts as all the sub genres too?   ;D  "mmoRPG"s (WoW) and.... "Action-RPG"s   (Fable)  theres the turn based games too.   galaxisclassic.com is a good one..

                              you missed out on a big one though! Puzzle, everyones played a puzzle game at some point lol
                              theres probably more..  what would Guitar Hero come under?

                              anyways..   hummmm, my vote.......   FPS!
