2. First Person Shooter

With major titles in this genre such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Counter Strike this genre has stood the test of time. This is one of the oldest genres around, dating back to DOOM days. Games under this title have a huge amount of different playstyles to choose from. Whether you want to be a casual player or a hardcore one, this is one of the most played video game genres simply because it keeps you interested. This is one of the major points that truly sets this genre apart from the rest.

The addition of being unable to check corners in third person and having to peek carefully adds an element to these games that truly intimidates players. What type of player are you? Do you enjoy running around taking as many people down with you or do you like to attempt to survive it out and hide in a corner waiting for your prey?

Two problems with this article. One. Third person and first person shooters are a sub catagories of the same genre and shouldnt have two spots in this list. Second i feel moba is a sub genre of rpg, and rpg should be number one on this list
