Real Life Simulators vs. Surreal Life?

I was just wounderring what types of games people like the most Real Life Simulators like realistic sports games, racing sims etc or completely surreal games like mario or pikmin. Even phantasy worlds that still look life like, like Oblivion or just plain made up worlds like Paper Mario. Reason i ask is real life sims and plain realistic worlds just seem boring and pointless to play, its outside your window, i never play a game unless its completly surreal and takes me somewhere new, wacky and interresting.

There are realistic games which let you do things you obviously would never be able to do in real life (safely at least)

like Operation Flashpoint, and red Orchestra....the 2 most realistic shooters out (operation Flashpoint is far more realistic then Red Orchestra though.
