strategy, both TBS and RTS, although i tend to ignore most games in this genre because a select few are extraordinary (civ, HOMM3 (4 and 5 suck, i still play WoG sometimes), starcraft, some of the old command and conquer games) and the rest stink.

almost any RPG that has sufficiently few bugs to be playable with enthrall me.

i despise FPS games

baseball and football simulations; madden and whatever the hell they're calling the baseball games nowadays.

other random time-wasters such as online board and card games, as well as the occasional entertaining adventure game that shows up online somewhere.


unfortunately, i am presently restricted to the last category because my video card ceased to function last week and nothing runs on the backup i'm using
