Why all the hate for casual games? Some of them are great.
Chime, AaAaAA!!, Super Meat Boy, and those are just off the top of my head.
They are fun, simple, and have low barriers to entry for non-hardcore gamers. You don't always need an overly developed plot (just look at Halo), it just needs to be fun.
Just to slow the hate for me because I do enjoy casual games. I also play RPGs, RTS, FPS, action adventures, sometimes sports or fighters (but only as P2), and I will pick up a racing game every now and then (preferably the silly and/or over the top). Oh, and what ever Little Big Planet qualifies as.

i don't care what anyone says, sports games do not translate well onto a monitor. i've played sports most of my life (esp. soccer and volleyball) and i cannot play sports games on my computer or PS3 without losing my mind from boredom. it just doesn't work for me and i can't really explain why.More Fun To Compute said:
i typically play RPG, FPS, pure action (e.g. god of war) and adventure games (of which there have not been very many of late). i will play strategy games provided they are RTS, but i generally don't seek them out.
I've tried to play as many different games as possible over the years purely based on the fact that I had no idea I'd even enjoy an RPG until I first stuck in FF7. I try to always give a genre the chance to surprise me and I think in almost every genre I've found a game that held my interest, at least for a while.
I'd honestly say that the only genre that hasn't impressed me a whole lot is RTS. I've tried several (WC III, Starcraft series, Command & Conquer series, Total War series)and, for me, personally, I never felt very immersed in the experience, even when I found the stories quite good and the design adequate. Not to mention that balancing issues are to be initially expected and eventually accepted by the playing community over time, and that's always been a turn off.

What I love: RPG (WoW mostly)
What I like: RTS, TBS (Starcraft 2, Heroes of Might and Magic)
What I don't mind: Solo FPS (Half life 2), FPS/RPG (Fallout 3), Adventure (Prince of Persia)
What I just dont like: Any competitive PvP either it FPS or RTS, Sports games (except maybe Soccer)
Completly out of the chart: Team fortress classic, I dont know why but one and rare kind of competitive FPS I played and really liked

I actually play very few games. I simply can't afford all the games I'd like to play so I only end up getting the ones I simply can't miss.
