In reply to ecosos3. This is a list of genres not gamer types. (Except for maybe sports and lifetime gamer)

Yeah, this list is less insightful than I expected. Most people’s tastes span 75% of the “breeds” you’ve identified. It’s nice but not very realistic. Change the title to “An Oversimplification of 10 Gaming Genres”

Should add the Baldur’s Gate series to the “Golden Oldies” of the RPG section.

Great blog,none of that “this makes you a hardcore” bullshit.Anyways,I’d categorize myself as a lifetime gamer,since I’ve been playing games my whole life beginning with the NES and buying tons of games and most consoles from every subsequent generation.Genre-wise,I’m a hardened gamer through and through.Action-adventures games will always be my genre of choice,although I do own and love a fair amount of horror,racing and stealth games.Never been much of a sports game fanatic,especially in the last two generations.

Notable missing games:
Halo series, All of the Nintendo franchises (Mario/Metroid/Zelda etc…) game, hack & slash games (God of War/Devil May Cry/ Ninja Gaiden etc…)

But I guess nobody plays those. They’re only like what? some of the best selling video games ever?

lol and what if your a bit of both?
i love gory games like GOW or KZ2 or fear 2 but i also like horror games like deadspace but than i also like kid games like ratchet and clank or crash bandicoot.
no one likes just 1 type of game, otherwise they would get extremley bored.
i can only sit behind cover and shoot bastards for so long till i get bored of it.
i can only run around slashing enemies guts out for so long till i get bored of it.
i can only creep through corridors with things leaping out at me for so long till i get bored of it,
you need a variety otherwise you would get bored, thats why no one is a 1 genre gamer.
