    What was the one the game that got you into a genre that you normally wasnt playing ?

    As the title suggests........for me it was Command & Conquer. That game really got me into the strategy genre. From there I went to the Civilization series, Age of Empires, Starcraft, Dynasty Warriors, etc.

      Jade Empire (xbox) introduced me to action/rpg games. I enjoy games of this genre more now.

        Tenchu got me into stealth action games and actually had such a big influence on me that I try to play a lot of action games stealthily, even when stealth is not really a part of the game.

        I guess technically Zelda got me into it but it was Final Fantasy that got me to recognize the RPG as a genre and actively seek games like it.

          COD WAW got me into FPS. I used to hate FPS games. Always thought they were best left on the PC.

          Then I played WAW and now half my games are FPS. ALthough it doesn't help that probably half of the PS3's avialable library are FPS.

            Final Fantasy 7 got me into RPGs. I can remember thinking what the hell is HP...lol. Now I love everything about RPGs.

                    Picked up MW2 this year. I'm pretty much a "sports only" gamer...we'll see how this goes...it's definitely an awesome game, just have to see if it's for me.

                      Wasn't a big fan of RTS games until Starcraft came around. Now its one of my favorite genres.

                      Hadn't even played an MMO until WoW and now (sadly sometimes) I check out a lot of them.

                            Final Fantasy VII introduced me into RPGs. I rented that game every week up until Christmas came when I finally got it (probably about 4-5 wees). What a wonderful game to play.

                            Duke Nukem on the PC, Goldeneye on N64, and Perfect Dark on N64 really opened the floodgates for me in terms of FPS.

                            Joe Montana's Football/Tecmo Bowl game on Sega, Blades of Glory/NHL 94, Roger Clemen's Baseball/Bases Loaded, and Double Dribble/Bulls vs. Blazers all introduced me to sports gaming and competitive games against friends when I was very young.

                              The only reason I got into RPG's is because of KOTOR. I never played an RPG and I've never been a big Star Wars fan but after hearing about how great it was, I rented it and now Bioware is my favorite game developer and RPG's are one of my favorite genre's(as long as they aren't turn-based).

                              If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)
