I exited the womb holding a video game controller.
I like fast paced with lots of guns (that can be upgraded), lots of acrobatics, and lots of action. I like a game with good replay vlaue.
Personally I think my approach to certain games is kind of strange. If it’s like Tomb Raider or PoP:WW, I’ll play for a little bit (sometimes I’ll play all the way through) just to get the hang of it, then I’ll start over and play for real (finding all the treasures and cookies etc.), then I’ll play through again- if I feel like it- just to beat my previous time or to just play for the feel of the rythm, to perfect my fighting technique, or persosonal challenges like never dying, or in a game like RE:4 where you collect money, maxing out the counter.
I suck at FPS’s and racing games. With the exception of Chrono Trigger I don’t like turn based fighting games.
