I agree, FPS needs to be a separate category as there as sooo many of them and they are worlds away from traditional shooters. Also games RE5 and particularly MGS4! are definately not shooters imo.

[ezee ryder]

If people feel an FPS genre needs to be added, then add away folks. I agree, I don't think titles such as MGS4 and RE5 are shooters, they fall into the action/adventure category for me.

[MisterBubbles]

as it put RE5 ,MGS4 ,Uncharted, Warhawk are 3rd person shooters IMO and totally different from an action game such as X-Men Wolverine

Well strictly speaking MGS is a stealth game and Warhawk could be described a online multiplayer game. Like I said if you want to add a genre in, please do so when you vote.

Don't count my votes, yet, I need more time to think.

Can I suggest two new categories?

1. Download – because they're shorter games people may tend to vote for retail releases.
2. Miscellaneous – what kind of game is WarioWare, exactly?

I thought this thread was dead...

[ezee ryder]

It's aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!

Never did get around to doing the lists but am thinking now it would be best for everyone to just list their recommended games once and then update their post if they think a new release deserves to sneak in.

EDIT - Updated opening post to reflect this and also made some changes to my list.
