Gaming Outside your Comfort Zone

There are two different zones for me:

(1) Computer - I stick nearly exclusively to FPS, and I've played pretty much all of them. The ones worth buying I do. The only times I leave the genre are the occasional racing game (I loved NFS:MW) and Stepmania, which for some reason I enjoy although I completely suck at DDR.

(2) Console - Admittedly, I haven't owned one most of my life. I got an original Nintendo in 1997, an original Playstation in 2003, and a PS2 a couple of months ago. I have done extensive emulation of SNES/Genesis, however, which I include here even though it's technically done on a PC. I've stick primarily to RPGs (Dragon Warrior/Quest Series, Final Fantasy Series, Chrono Series, Xeno*) and Sidescrollers (Metroid/Mario/Sonic), but I also have a wide mix of other games - A couple of Fighter Games (Mostly Street Fighter), some Racing Games (Burnout Revenge, GT4), and a few others (Tetris, Tetris Attack, God of War, etc.) I use Console for Game Experimentation a lot of the time. The only genre that I truly avoid completely is sports games - I just plain don't like them, probably because I don't care much for sports in real life either.

In a strange twist, I own the entire Metal Gear Solid series (never owned the original Metal Gear, however) but I just can't bring myself to finish any of them. I can see the value in them as games, but I just don't enjoy them as much as everyone else seems to.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
