What are your favorite type of games?

[Boomer]

I have always done my best to give anything a shot, even if it doesn't seem down my alley. True racing games are about the only thing I don't play on a regular basis. I love Burnout and Mario Kart, but those don't really count.

If there is one thing I have loved since childhood, it is puzzle games, and I will try all of them. Whether its a good old SCUMM game, some ridiculous hybrid like Puzzle Quest, or some competitive games like Puyo Puyo and Dr. Mario, I love all of them. Been playing Puzzle Pirates like crazy lately...which is incredibly nerdy.

Most, if not all of my friends, cannot and will not play puzzle games like I do. They will do them casually for a few minutes, but rarely as their game-of-the-week play.

But honestly, I don't really have a "favorite". I'll play anything if it's quality. I have a hard time convincing people I know to try games out...I feel like everyone is so close-minded to games just because of genre.

The thing that bothers me the most, though, is how a few of my roommates are. One won't play console games because he likes mouse-keyboard, and the other won't play PC games because he likes controllers. I try so hard to get them to break down and try it, but they act like they can't learn how to play games solely because of the control scheme. I just don't get it.
