I go for a style of game, as I do for a style of movies. Like in movies I do very much like Tim Burtons style and the feel of Dark Castles horror remakes. It isn't so much the genres that they do, rather the style and feel of the movies they make. Same for videogames, I like Nintendos quality of gaming, Squares ratchet for an immersive story and sensual experience and Rares old gaming quality (and current quality, from the sounds of how awesome PDZ is). Does that mean I like platformers, rpgs and first person shooters? It can mean that, but I choose to believe that I like a certain style of games, and these game makers have chosen to represent these styles in mostly platform titles, rpgs and just generally fun games.
I can't wait until the day videogames are represented just as much as by the director or lead artist of the title, as they are by the genre they fit in.
