I still like quake.  Sometimes the bad shadowing gets to me though.  I
wish one of the groups of people who are hacking on the GPL version
would either make a patch that adds more bits to the shadow map, or
better adds real time shadows.  But, for well lit (as opposed to
dark/dim) levels, this isn't an issue.

I like pretty much everything but sports games (except for tony
hawk).  2D fighters, 3D fighters, FPS (but not on consoles using game
pads), RPGs, the real Sim games (The Sims didn't look so good),
real time resource management games ala C&C, etc.
