What is your favorite game per genre?

[fabbemannen]

What is your favorite game in each genre?

Here's how it goes, you get to vote on 3 (or less) games per genre. Your first vote gets 3 points, second = 2, third = 1
Simply post your favorites below, and if you think that one genre is missing, post it below too! (don't take the ridiculous ones)
I will update the list whenever I can. My votes are coming in the first reply
If you wanna update your submissions, please post a reply to let me know
Got any other questions? Simply ask me (if you don't get the category or something)

Other rules:
No adult-games
Board-games counts as party-games
Since a lot of games actually are simulation, let's only use those that are said to be simulators (the sims, flight simulator etc)

Which one?

Strategy(needs moar strategy. this could be split up into turn-based strategy(TBS) or real-time strategy(RTS))

It's enough with just "strategy"

some of these categories can get a bit hazy.

Just ask then

3p - I hate sports games

That sounds like an interesting game, I should add it immediately!

2p - Geometry Wars

That's an indiegame?


If something isn't clear, just ask
