What is the one genre...TO RULE THEM ALL!:D
sorry, couldn't resist

Wow I will say I am suprised RPG is the top. I love RPGs that's for sure ^_^

What about pong? what does that count as? i love pong.

Pong is in a category of its own. Comparing Pong with any game or indeed any genre of games is like comparing blue with water.;)

Weird unique Free-play, as you put it. Any thing different is cool

With only 8 voters having cast their votes, its a tad early to tell.

RPG, hands down.

No mate... pong is the abstraction of every possible game ever. It is the essence of any game... it is the soul of all games... it is divine:D

You're right i mean there's so many dimensions to pong! a ball goes backward and foreward! wow! it never gets tiring working out where the balls going to go next!

O_O

:eek:WHERE IS THE POINT AND CLICK LUCASARTS ADVENTURE OPTION?:eek:

O_O

RPG. No contest.

It can go up and down too... (http://www.3dponggame.com/)

Oh no! which do i choose? pong or the Lusasarts point and click! both are sooo imaginative, you just don't know what's going to happen next.
Yeah because they are SOOO much more fun than rouguelikes:rolleyes:

Shooters, sims and sports for me thanks

How dare you. You offend my eyes with your comments, bow down to lucasarts and the holy pong or forever be cursed.

No adventure games option?

RTS/TBS/RPG are my favourite generally, although you get some great FPS games now and then, too.

Ping-pong sucks. There aren't any cheats to unlock bullettime!Or skip to level cheats!

I like the "sim of any kind" option. Every computer game is a sim of some kind.

but you get to bounce backward and forward. It's so exiting
Actually there is a cheat to unlock balltime but anyone who uses it is tracked by the FBI automatically, (some say it makes the ball go slower but you can work out where it's going to go much faster!, Heretics!)

I would also have voted adventure, you forget about us adventure fans eh OP? :(
Turn-Based-Strategies are fun though.

I like RPG's... but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a good FPS after a hard's day at work...

espcially PS2's unreal tournament... with the sniper... unlimited bullets... invulerability...

You bastard. i hate those sniping so and so's, i prefer the less thinking more firing the minigun, and don't need to aim, cos you hit everything, it's the best form of equality you know, so i don't just hate you i hate everyone equally.:)

Apples and oranges, you can't compare them. Although I'm personally partial to action-adventures, which aren't on the poll, even though Flight Simulator is, what a crappy poll. No action, no adventure, but two kinds of shooter and two kinds of strategy game.

I like board games....

Sorry, I like strategy!:D

I usually kill faster with the sniper rifle than the minigun.

but then again, i'll be the one sniping those comming up behind you. :sniper:

EDIT: actually, if I wanna kill really fast, I find the Redeemer and put that to 99 missles...

I like all genres of games, but when it comes down to it in the end i would say the best is the FPS because it is simple pick up and play. unlike an RPG which you have to really immerse yourself and play for hours. An FPS can be played for short and long periods of time and you can still have fun. but i do love RPG's. If i don't have a lot of time to devote to playing games i always pick up an FPS.

RTS fo' sho'
Age of Empires
Age of Kings
Age of Empires III
Empire Earth
Caesar III
Pharaoh
Zeus
Emperor: ROTMK
and their respective sequels.

Sorry, I like strategy!:D

Tactical RPG is another one of my favourite genres... but I'm terrible at them, so I guess I could always vote for TBS :D

RPG's are good b/c they can encompass all the other genres in someway. But I play a lot of FPS, and flight sim as well. In fact, I play a little of everything, I play games as I eat: adventurously.

Real time strategies should drop the word "strategy" and replace it with more suitable 'arcade action'.

TBS +/& RPG = FTW

FPS FTW. I love me some shootan gaems.

Board games.

*nods*

Multiplayer TBS hands down. However the best TBS I ever played had heavy elements of RPG: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars%21 :cool:

Uhm... MMORPGs. And maybe TBSs, but I really haven't played anything new, because this new technology - with billions of polygons to display what once used to be a neat 5kb sprite - and my low-end computer, they don't really cope.
