I thought it might be cool to start a thread discussing our favorite cross-platform games. I'll go first of course. Now, I'm sure that I'll be missing something with the sub-categories i.e. RTS grouped in with general strategy, but feel free to add those to your posts as you see fit.
FPS- Easily Doom 3 hands down. Fast paced, nasty, and simple the way a FPS should be.
Console RPG- I personally like FF12, but only because I can watch t.v. drink beer and level up at the same time due to the gambits. To me that's pretty cool.
PC RPG- I really enjoyed Baldur's Gate 2. The storytelling, character development, and longevity of it was top-notch.
Fighting- This is a obscure one. Street Fighter Alpha 3 was awesome with the whole mess of different modes to play.
Third-Person- That's a easy one, Resident Evil 2
Platformer- Prince of Persia The Sands of Time is the God of platformers.
Strategy- Roller Coaster Tycoon, I like this game because simply trying to make the guests get on your custom built roller coaster is a game in itself.
Sports- NBA 2K8, highly finished and very glossy. Smells like a new luxury car.
Side-scroller- Streets of Rage 3. I love the alternate endings
Racing- Road Rash. Even at it's age still better then burnout.
Like I said before, I'm sure I'm missing a lot, but I look forward to reading your posts and seeing what your own favorite games are.
FPS-F.E.A.R and all the expansion packs(game scares the crap outta me sometimes)
3RD person-Guild Wars
Racing Need for Speed-Prostreet(soon to be replaced by Gran Turismo 5)
Console RPG Final Fantasy 10
P.S. forgot about Road Rash, awsome game for it's time, God the hours I wasted playing that game
20 Years ago I saw you yesterday, Youre looking at the picture now.

Say what you want, Time will always tell the truth.
FPS- Halo 2 Fighting- uh.... Mortal kombat for SNES
Third Person- Gears of war is fun..great campaign
Strategy- that will probably have to be Age of Empiers
Sports- 2k8 is pretty sweet
Racing-.....burnout is sick but i also like taxi. HA dont know if that counts.
Taxi counts, that's also a fun game! I love the Fear games, as well as the Halo series. For the third-person genre I actually want to change my vote. I did have it as Resident Evil 2, but I think the original Silent Hill was a far superior game for it's time. I never played Guild Wars (do you have to pay monthly for that), or any of the Age of Empires. I'll most def. have to check those out. I hope more people post lol because it would be cool for any gamer reading this to get some options of entertainment they might not have though of before.
