      Not just you...

      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.

                  fps is awesome, definetely the best, third person is old, but simulators are kinda fun.

                    sports games are pretty fun but they get kinda old after a while.

                        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!
