The Expanded Favourite Ever Games By Genre

Let's face it, some glaring genre omissions from the last thread

I have still excluded some genres such as MOBA, Rougelike & such because they aren't as widespread and if I started going niche I'd be here all day. Also with 'Simulator' that means less people should be calling FM a turn based game strat game, because the match engine is in real time.

- oh, and what is a casual game? I didn't replace your "Plant Vs Zombies" (what ever that is) by accident.
  
  justanothersheeldz @justanothersheeldz | 18 Jan '13, 08:45 | X
- wait, i've not looked at the other thread.
  
  is this an additional thread, or a replacement?
  
  justanothersheeldz @justanothersheeldz | 18 Jan '13, 08:45 | X
  - Ok, so I now see where i've gone wrong. This isn't the expanded list, this is an additional list.
    
    Fail on my part.
    
    justanothersheeldz @justanothersheeldz | 18 Jan '13, 08:46 | X
    - figured people wouldn't want to repeat themselves
      
      Yesiamaduck @justanothersheeldz | 18 Jan '13, 08:49 | X
      - I understand now
        
        i think that the other thread was a Royter pisstake too. Hence the limited choices. Sports includes driving? No way.
        
        As an JAG here's my blog posts about my favourite games of all time. I've posted it before... http://www.sheeldz.co.uk/search/label/favourite%20games

re: casual games

games typically played in short bursts, quick and easy to pick up and play and are mainly found on mobile phones.

examples: bejewled, angry birds and super hexagon

Yesiamaduck | 18 Jan '13, 08:53 | X
- hmm
  
  that might make Tetris one of them now. I guess Angry Birds counts?
  
  justanothersheeldz @Yesiamaduck | 18 Jan '13, 08:56 | X
  - its an example after all
    
    Tetris totes casual
    
    Yesiamaduck @justanothersheeldz | 18 Jan '13, 08:58 | X
- dont have a phone so never played any
  
  would pokemon count..
  
  Matt_was_taken @Yesiamaduck | 18 Jan '13, 09:02 | X
  - nah RPG
    
    flash games would count as long as they fit the above description.
    
    Yesiamaduck @Matt_was_taken | 18 Jan '13, 09:08 | X
    - super bomberman?
