"Adventure games are where you go around and solve puzzles and talk to people. There is usually not combat, especially reflex-oriented combat. Adventure games are hardly ever made these days."

Okay, okay; action/adventure.

RPG, action/adventure, puzzle, fighting.

Those are my favorite type of games.

EDIT: I like platform games, too.

My favorite games are the "regular" Mario and Sonic games- aka Platformers.

How did I know I'd be the first person to answer FPS's as my favorite genre?

After shooters, there a tie between puzzle/action, then probably platformers.

I like platform games like the earlier Super Mario Bros games and Sonic the Hedgehog.

I also like action/puzzle like Super Mario 64 and Sunshine, and... you know, I just realized that I have like no games for my Gamecube.  Just SMS, MK:DD, MG:TT, and SSBM.  I should get StarFox Assault or something...

I learned how to get Mew too(not Mewtwo) in Blue.  You can also get it in Red, but either way I started a new game over my Mew file because it wasn't as fun with a really powerful non-existant pokemon.  That's why I don't like to keep traded pokemon, they level up too fast and loaf around.

I shudder to think of you putting MK:DD and SSBM in the category of "no games". For shame.

I'm gonna post my fav games and then figure out what genre appears the most.



GameCube Title:                             Genre (IGN):
Alien Hominid                              Third-Person Shooter
Animal Crossing                             Simulation
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures         Action Adventure
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour               Sports Action
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door            RPG
Resident Evil 4                     Third-Person Action Adventure
The Simpsons: Hit & Run                  Third-Person Action Adventure
The Sims Bustin' Out                  Simulation
Super Mario Sunshine                  Platformer
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger                  Platformer
Wario Ware Inc. Mega Party Game$            Party


So far I can't decide so I'll add more games/systems later.  I also disagree with some of IGN's classifications.

Personally, my favorite is Platformer. Nothing beats a good ol' Mario-style platform-hopping adventure. And yes, I know there are other genres, but my browser doesn't support the ability to add extra options.

Adventure games are good, but if Mario is in his own category...ah man!

Ehh... Sapph will merge them if need be.
Actually, I never really have a favorite. It depends on what I'm into at the moment--Right now, I don't know. I just finished M&L:PiT. That was an RPG, so last week I'd've said RPG. Before that I was playing Kirby Canvas Curse & MKDS a lot, so I'd've said Racing or Platformer a couple of weeks ago. Before that, SSBM--fighting. I really really want to play PMTTYD right now, so I'd probably say RPG. But when I neglect other games and decide to put an RPG down and play, let's say SMA4, it becomes platformer. I'm sure a lot of people are like that. Not hard to love a lot of different genres when you're a Mario fan! ^_^

The fact that you forgot racing angers me. MKDS forever! *Waves giant foam finger*

Does Pokemon count as an adventure game???
