These are the genres that are best on the computer.
Masive rolplaying is nice to... I play tibia from time to time, since I got kinda bored of it (I've played for almost 5 years without playing other games...) but now that I've left that vice over, I play Rts's like Starcraft, racing games like NFSC and Shoot'em up like F.E.A.R. or Counter-Strike (specially CS :D).

I also like Adventures like Zelda and The Monkey Island xD



Yours, Ale.

I love zelda and monkey Island. and CS was like my first step into the online gameplay scene. I don't really like MMOs b/c my friends don't play them and I don't want to have to make all new friends to play a game.

That's fair hehe, online games like Tibia are too addictives and if you don't buy premium accounts they aren't that fun xD... I'm trying to get back to basics since before playing Tibia I played for hours Battle.net from Starcraft and spend lots of time playing Counter-Strike at lan (we all bring our pc's at a friend home and play, that was awesome :D) I miss those times haha

Why is Action and Adventure on the same row? And where is turn-based strategy?

Anyhow, I'd go for RTS, Adventure, turn-based and .. where does Freelancer and Jedi Outcast/Academy belong?

It was a tough decision for me. I love RPG's, shooters, racing, fighting. I just love games in general. But my roots begin with action/adventure: Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Metroid FTW!
