Cool Ahhh.... Console RPGs......

My first love, RPG's... I have fond memories of playing Final Fantasy III at 6 years old, and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I'm getting into FPS's a little more these days (Counter-Strike won't release it's grasps quite yet )but I still have s soft spot for a good RPG.

BTW, I was a big fan of adventure games, like grim fandango, monkey island series, the longest journey ...
But the lack of good adventure games made me concentrate on to FPS and RTS.

Definately FPS and some RTS. Don't care much for RPG or sports/strategy.

TFC would have to rate as my all time favorite. But, I do like Flight Unlimited 3, (dunno why Looking Glass Studios went out of business...)and the newest M$ Flight sim 2002.

TFC is the only team multi-player game I have played besides C-Stike, but the easy deaths in C-Strike are what gets me.

normally i'd blurt out "FPS rule!"
but lately, AVP1, Undying, and the Thief series have turned me into a quivering blob of jelly with a tendancy towards pants-wetting, so i'll vote for.....puzzle games. easy ones. with good lighting and friendly sound effects. *whimper*

Greedo, I agree wholeheartedly with you about Undying...it's the only game I've ever played that freaks me out so bad I have to be tucked in at night. *Power of the pillow* *Power of the pillow*

Keeping strictly to your question Nuke, I must say FPS.

Followed closely by Survival Horror....defined as...running around...a haunted house...wetting my pants...looking for...a bloody typewriter ribbon!

I like RPG games, but for some strange reason I always find myself tractored beam into playing a round of golf on Links 2001. Hmmm? Strange.

It used to be FPS all the way, but 3 months ago I discovered Dark Age of Camelot, and now I'm an RPG addict.

Sometimes I want to play Counterstrike, but I keep clicking the camelot icon for some weird reason.

I'd defenitally have to say I like RPG's the most. Started with FF7 and ever since then most of the games i play have been rpgs, although i do enjoy some good Age of Empires 2 as well.

Unreal Tournament, Rogue Spear, Ghost Recon, Crimson Skies.
Hooray for action titles. Rpg and strategy games are nice. I have vampire, the masquerade and Star Craft, but I need the intense action of a First Person Shooter. If I want RPG, I'll stick with the dice and books. For strategy, no one has ever improved on chess. Are there any other kinds of video games?
Seriously, I like them all, but I normally only play FPS, unless I'm sick and can't take the quick, vertigo-inducing movement.
