Tactical RPGs like Fire Emblem.  I plan on getting a PSP just so I can play three upcoming (in the case of one of them, already released) tactical RPGs.

yes! etna knows what i'm talkin about! High five!

i love fire emblem, great stories and such fun strategy

The only genre that I like that I can pin down is Racing games. Anything involving cars going at high speeds on tracks is usually guaranteed to be a winner with me. Unless the game sucks, of course. As for other games, I just like... well, the games that I like.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

Well, Sonic involes a hedgehog running faster than any car. Just look at the latest Sonic game for PS3 and 360. So fast, it's hard to keep track of!

I haven't seen anything about the new Sonic games... but I really like Sonic Adventure on my Dreamcast. That game is awesome!

I wanna get the one for the Wii, but I forget what its called. I know what it is, just can't think of it right now.

Twilight Wolf

"Sonic and the Secret Rings," I believe. Or something to that effect...

Don't get it now, there's a lot better ways to spend your money. The controls are confusing, the story is stupid, and it's generally a below average game. Maybe after the price drops some you could get it, but I wouldn't waste $30-$40 on it. It is one of my least favorite Sonic games.

RAAAAAAAAAAH!

I'm going to give ONE warning!: Do NOT EVER call The Legend of Zelda or similar games Adventure Games ANYMORE! They are NOT Adventure Games, they are Action-Adventure Games! Adventure Games are games like Monkey Island, RAMA, Grim Fandango, Broken Sword, Syberia, Myst, Gabriel Knight and Sam and Max.

I hate it when people confuse my favourite genre with that hybrid genre. Adventure Games are my favs, but not ex. TLOZ. A close one is the beat'm-up genre. It's fun.

Zoratunic

Well, I usually just call it an adventure game, action games in my book usually involve... more action. If Zelda had nonstop action, like my example said, Sonic, I would call it action-adventure.

You're constantly fighting monsters as you go from one place to another...

Except the adventures that Lady Nintendo is talking about are Point-and-Click adventures. They, I would say are the true adventures, done in a more puzzle-oriented environment. It's quite old school. Before Lucasarts was whoring itself on Star Wars games, they were well known for PC games, mainly in the P and C adventure genre. Maniac mansion is one of the craziest, funniest, and well known of them.

Monkey Island 2 anyone? Who knew that you could have so much fun creating a voodoo doll...

Evilbob

OOH! Blood has a funky voodoo doll. Hehe, poke poke poke with the needle...

I like Action RPG's like Fable.
Fable is LOVE!

And of course I like Zelda (Action-Adventure)

But I have my fondness for third-person shooters with a hint of platforming i.e. Tomb Raider!
