This is just out of curiosity, as there seems to be a lot of people directed here from Blues News. Lets see what games other members of the sift are playing and if you want, you could inclide a brief list of your favorite games of all time and maybe the game you think you've spent the most time playing.
I'll go first:
Favorite genre: First-Person Shooter
Favorite games:
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 3 (or 6 if you want to be proper)
Max Payne 2
Team Fortress 2
I have probably spent more time playing the original quake than any other game, back when I was 12 and I thought 32 player team fortress was the be-all and end-all of gaming.

Grim Fandango
Monkey Island (any one of them)
Day of the Tentacle
Sam & Max (try the new ones as well)
A lot of LucasArts games. Well, 100% is a lot.
And while I have your attention (hopefully), try Europa Universalis 3! Great game.
Some favorites.
GTA3
Half-Life 2
Oddworld: Stranger
Jet Set Radio Future
Halo 3 (for the multiplayer)
Starcraft.
FF7
Rollercoaster Tycoon
World of Warcrack
Privateer II
Final Fantasy(s)
Favorite games:
Chrono Trigger
FF VI
DDR Extreme 2
Smash Brothers
Smash Bros. Brawl
Marvel vs. Capcom
Pokemon Yellow (lol)
C&C series (Kane's Wrath is way cool, but the original Red Alert is probably my favorite of them all)
Starcraft
Dungeon Keeper (Make a third one EA!)
Peggle (It's so damn addictive)
Freelancer
Max Payne 2; (and the first one too)
Transport Tycoon is fantastic
UFO: Alien Unknown (or X-Com)
Heroes of Might & Magic 3
kulpims: I tried X3 as a replacement for Freelancer, but I thought it was pure shit.
Some older favorites:
Neverwinter Nights and Expansion packs (One of the best game experiences ever especially Hordes of Underdark, NWN 2 was disappointing)
Sacred (This was like Diablo set in a larger open world, I actually finished this game 3 times)
Counter-Strike 1.3 (after that and Source it wasn't the same at all - The AK47 was so awesome in this version)
Quake 1, 2, 3. - Bots, Multiplayer and gibs. Nuff said.
Unreal Tournament (The original is still the best, UT3 was a huge consoley disappointment)
Freelancer 1 & 2 (Anyone remember pulling GTVA space patrols in a nebula? It was my own personal BSG)
Transport Tycoon Deluxe (Laying roads, train tracks, air and sea transport routes, was never so much fun, Locomotion was a huge disappointment)
Jagged Alliance 1 & 2 (Squad control mercs! Ivan Dolvich was hilarious)
Soldner (Like a JA clone set in a pulpish WW2 setting)
UFO: Alien Unknown (Oh my god this game was so scary, especially when you started getting Psiattacks from the aliens, still unrivaled today, even though countless companies tried direct copies, I didn't really like X-Com because of the underwater setting)
Heroes of Might & Magic 3 (I loved the 2D graphics, the newer 3D one isn't as magical nor did it have near the amount of units/artifacts/heroes as HMM3)
Rise of Nations (This was really one of the best and most enjoyable RTS games I ever played)
Total Annihilation (Visceral, primal RTS combat with robots, Supreme Commander lost that magic touch)
Morrowind (Oblivion was good but not as good as Morrowind which had more of an open ended feel, and not as consoley based as Oblivion)
I would say my favorite genre is FPS, though so far all am looking forward to is Fallout 3 and Jagged Alliance 3/3D/4 (if it ever makes it), I was looking forward to a shooter that was said to cover all the weapons from the 20th to 21st centuries following a familial history but I forgot the name, it had a really cool trailer too.
I love adventure games, RPGs, strategy, and lately more FPS games

My favorite genre is usually straight one on one or two on one (not the "devil's threesome" though). I can get down with a little bit of slap and tickle but too much is distracting. Deep and slow or fast and hard, either way, I'm down.
Oh...video games? Oh, I told you already, I'm still playing "River City Ransom". Seriously...
Other Games I've enjoyed greatly:
Final Fantasy 3 (US)
Secret of Mana
Chrono Trigger
Grim Fandango
Star Craft
Galactic Civilizations II (Known to cause highly localized time warps)
Half Life series
I've recently managed to kick a WoW addiction, I'm treating it with a plethora of other games to manage the cravings.
Also

E.T. for the Atari 2600

However now that I have a job, and a family etc. time is seriously limited for game playing, so I've turned to games that give instant fun and can be picked up and put down quickly... so FPS is where it's at for me. Bioshock and the Half Life 2 games are my current lot.
The Crysis demo was pretty awesome too, but seeing as I've owned the orange box for months now and haven't even started HL2 ep2, I can't justify buying that... or Gears of war for the PC for that matter.
So I still do love an RTS and other such games (in my youth I LOVED adventure games, not so much now)... but time somewhat dictates what I can play.
