    Just thought I'd post a poll on everyone's PC gaming preferences. Multiple responses are OK!

    MMO = WoW, LotRO, EVE, etc.

    Massively Multiplayer Online

    Left 4 Dead & Counterstrike are multiplayer but not in a massive way. ;)

    D'oh! I clicked vote before realizing I could select multiple genres :eek:

    Anyways, I would have voted for FPS/action, RTS, and online shooter games. I'm not a fan of RPG games except for KOTOR.

    I have to say that for almost every genre there is a game that I really love, but it's the FPS/action games that on-the-whole I enjoy the most.

    Mainly TBS, then RTS, followed by RPG. I'll take action games if they're fun.
