[b]When you have game genres, you should only explain the genres that the game-makers themselves give or it's rather pointless. So, in thinking of this i will give you all the ones that come to mind, and what all games should fall under despite what type of game(ie. most mecha games are action): FPS - First Person Shooters(Unreal Tournament, Quake, etc.) RTS - Real-Time Strategy(StarCraft, WarCraft, etc.) RPG - Roleplaying Games(Lunar, Xenosaga, etc.) Action(Zone of the Enders, Shinobi, etc.) Adventure(Tomb Raider, Everblue, etc.) Sports(NBA Live, Madden, etc.) Simulation(The Sims, Theme Park: Rollercoaster, etc.) Strategy(not the same as RTS)(Yu-Gi-Oh, DBZ: Card Game, etc.) Fighting(Mortal Kombat, Tekken, etc.) Platform(ie. Rayman, Klonoa, etc.) Racing(not really a sport)(ie. GT3, Nascar, etc.) 3rd Person Shooter(ie. MGS, Syphon Filter, etc.) Arcade(ie. Pac-Man, Tetris, etc.) Arcade Shooter(ie. Gradius, Ikaruga, etc.) Puzzle(ie. Aqua Aqua, Super Bust-A-Move, etc.) Music(ie. Amplitude, DDR, etc.) Survival Horror(ie. Clock Tower, Silent Hill, etc.) That's about all the main ones. I'm sure some titles don't fit into these categories but i can't think of any so i'll stick to this. Also, some titles are covered by more than one category, and that's the way it should work. Sure, you control the role of a player in pretty much all games Rory but the term came from D&D for when you were actually "roleplaying" as that character and as such would physically react as you think he/she would. Now there are console and PC RPGs with PC RPGs being more like Actual RPGs that have been evolved from the original D&D style game where there's less of a storyline whereas console RPGs have a set storyline and as such are much more linear and more like an Action game than an actual D&D style game. RPGs for consoles just make more sense to actually have a set ending than do PC RPGs, because with PCs you can download new game ideas and such hwereas you couldn't do that with consoles(until recently). With console RPGs though, you still take on the role and in the game are expected to act accordingly or the game won't make as much sense. You have to get a good feel for your character and therefore need to roleplay that character moreso than a normal action title. That's why the term RPG still applies to games. Well, i hope that you all enjoy posting and have fun gaming. [/b]
