I don't have one favorite genre. I'll play just about anything if it looks interesting to me.

Shooters and Action/Adventure are the safe options. And RPG is very popular, but I'm gonna go for either puzzle or strategy (mainly real-time)

Defs RPGs. I find they get your money's worth with the time you spend with it.

RPG's because I find they are the genre that really gets you thinking and you really feel for each of the characters in a good storyline. Whereas, other genres don't really make you feel like that at all.

I'm pretty sure that Survival Horror is just a subgenre, and nowadays, a sub-sub genre. I don't think Survival Horror should be up there, and needs to be replaced with Platformer or Sports.

Anything with an engaging story, gameplay and graphics. So pretty much everything. I can't just narrow it down to one genre since I don't just generalize myself to one genre of gaming.

That's not true at all. It's a clear subgenre of action-adventure games that are simply inspired by horror fiction and survival elements.

Well, okay then. I'll admit that when I'm playing a horror game, there is a totally different feel to it, but that's not because of it being a totally independent genre. That's simply due to the significantly different atmosphere the game provides.

For me it would have to be RPG's, especially when its online and playing with friends. I think games like Diablo 2 and guild wars set the 'standard' for me

RPG's in general. Bayonetta lured me over to the dark side of Action/Adventuring earlier this year though.

Action/Adventure is my favourite genre and I prefer games to be in Third Person view but I'll try any game just not FPS games which I avoid.

Survival Horror, followed by Adventure, RPG (specifically JRPG), and a dash of FPS and Hack and slash for good measure.

Well, I enjoy shooter games for the online experience while I would rather have adventure games (preferably not with guns) for their campaign. I just realize that most of the time this is the case for me.

Though truly action/adventure in many ways, has "sandbox" not become a genre upon itself?

I really don't stick to one genre. If it looks good to me, I'll buy it.

If I were to HAVE to choose, I would say RPG. But I tend to like WRPG's more than JRPG's just because JRPG''s tend to be too over-dramatic with slightly fakish over-the-top emotions. I also like survival horror alot but its more of a sub-genre. First person shooters can be quite good too, especially when they are innovative and unique. But many often all seem to be the same to me, so they aren't my favorite. And I'm not really fixated on action so action/adventure games are out of the competition for me. If I pick up a game that is action, it's usually unintentional, as many games incorporate action.

I think that sandbox styled or "free roam" games should be in that poll. I think they're popular enough to be considered a main genre IMO.
