RPGs are what I own the most of by a long shot, but I enjoy basically everything, with the exception of the more realistic sports games(Like the recent Maddens, NCAA, etc. NFL Blitz and NBA Jam are still ok in my book though!)

^Pretty much this, minus fighters and shmups, which I wouldn't mind trying to get into.

RPGs, definitely. There was a short time where it looked like survival-horror was going to overtake my love of RPGs, but sadly, those salad days are over. Seems like no one knows how to make a true survival-horror game now. Too much action, not enough scares. RE1-CV and SH1-3 were all awesome. A couple non-series games came out that I liked too (D2, tho that's closer to an adventure/RPG w/ a horror setting; Kuon; Rule of Rose), but mostly the rest just fail and fail hard for me.
I have a ton of games listed at my store's site: Super Smash Video Games

I like pretty much all genres of games.
My favorites are JRPG/WRPG, action/adventure, FPS, and 2D platformers. I enjoy Shmups, Fighters, Beat em ups, Run n Guns, 3D platformers, Racing and Music games.

Edit: I also like puzzle games but I hate strategy games.
