The adventure games genre has been in decline since the days of games like Monkey Island, Leisure Suit Larry and Grim Fandango.

I used to play quite a lot of FPS (First-Person Shooter), including the overly-hyped Halo and Halo 2, the original Quake, Doom, Doom II, even Serious Sam, Conker, Chronicles of Riddick and of course the very excellent Counterstrike.
