What game type do you prefer playing?

Given any game, what genre would you most prefer to play? Personally I'm an FPS nut but I will stray outside to play stuff like Civilization 4 and the odd racing game now and then.

I like playing RTS games (especially CnC3 ATM), but I keep coming back to CS:S. Therefore, I had to vote for FPS.

I'll say FPS but couldn't live on it all the time. Needs my RTS and RPG fix occassionally.

RTS. Can't get enough of them. Though a good RPG every now and again also does the trick nicely.

I put RPG because my favourite games of all time have all been RPG (morrowind, oblivion, deus ex). But I don't like most RPG's that are out, and the games I play most are FPS and RTS.

I was an FPS nut, but I have to say I've turned into a reformed RTS nut (it was the first type of game I played across the internet back in 1996!) in the last twelve months.

RPGs entertain me more (Morrowind, Gothic, etc.) but I can spend hours on end in de_dust2. It's hard to choose really

Thats a cruel question.. It is like when someone asks: "Do u prefer redheads, brunnetes or blondes?" And i always answer "I prefer the one that is nearest"!

But i voted RPG...
