You're stranded on a lone island in the middle of the ocean.  Miraculously there is a solar generator, a PS2 and a fairly large TV with comfortable couch. 

You are told you can only keep one PS2 genre  to spend the rest of your life with. BUT the games are chosen for you. 

Each genre includes two sequels of the most popular franchise in that genre.  After that, you get the next game that is rated highest in that genre @ Gamespot, and the next game that was the best selling title in its genre.

Which genre do you choose?

A. RPG (franchise titles - Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII, rated highest - Suikoden 3, best selling - Kingdom Hearts)

B. Action/Adventure (franchise titles - GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City, rated highest - Resident Evil 4, best selling - Metal Gear Solid 2)

C. Platformer (franchise title - Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2, rated highest - God of War, best selling - Jak and Daxter the Precursor Legacy)

D. Racing (franchise titles - Gran Turismo 3, Gran Turismo 4, rated highest - Burnout 3 , best selling - Need for Speed Underground)

E. Sports (franchise titles - Madden 2004, Madden 2007, rated highest - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, best selling - WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006)

F. Shooters (franchise titles - Socom 2, Socom 3, rated highest - Medal of Honor Frontline, best selling - Max Payne)

G. Based on Movies (franchise titles - Lord of Rings Two Towers, Lord of Rings Return of the King, rated highest - James Bond 007 Everything or Nothing, best selling - SpiderMan 2)

H. Fighters (franchise title - Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken 5, rated highest - Virtua Figher 4, best selling - Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance)

DMC and GoW arent platformers.  they are action adventure.   So you made two action adventure categories for some reason.

Gamespot may classify them as action/adventure, but to me they are just modern platformers.  I really don't see much difference from Ratchet & Clank to Prince of Persia or God of War other than more adult content and more complicated control schemes.
