What kinds of games do you like best?

Cause I realized that all my favorite games have at least three of these qualities:
-Action
-Simplicity
-Good writing (For me, good usually means comedic)
-Weirdness

All of 'em. Mega Man, the Mario and Zelda series, BlazBlue, Smash Bros, World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy VII, LittleBigPlanet, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, Metal Gear Solid, Star Ocean 3, Tales of Symphonia, Kingdom Hearts, etc.
A few games can pull off all four, like Cave Story, Psychonauts, and Katamari Damacy.

Conversely I have a hard time with lots of RPGs and strategy games cause they're slow and complicated and often hokey.
And more realistic games like military shooters or sports/racing games lack weirdness and usually good writing too, so they do not interest me and I ignore them.

How about you
What do you like about these "video game" things

Well, most of the time, I love stategy games (FE, BKO, Pokemon, etc.) But I also like a good story, not a story that drags on forever, or one that's overly-dramatic.
But sometimes I like fighting games that are fun with friends, some of which have a bit of strategy and/or teamwork to 'em (PokeRumble, L4D, Brawl, Naruto Rev3).
I also love good characters, but a big female cast drives me away...
And some games which character relationships are cool. (BKO, ToS). But not so much as near love relationships, then I find it very creepy.

I think that's it.

Games that require skill, and games where you can show that you are vastly superior to others. Aka Fighters and FPSes. Though I really only play L4D and some halo for FPS. Other than that, RPGS

I'd play anything as long as it's a good, solid and genuinely entertaining game. Bonus points if it's cleverly designed. Even more points if it has a great soundtrack. And even more if it has other good qualities, like good writing, graphics, art style, etcetera.

The three genres I seem to play most are RPGs, Fighters and Platformers/Side-Scrollers (in no particular order).

EDIT: I guess to be more specific I look for these things in the three genres I mentioned (along with example games):

RPG: Good story; good, believable characters; great soundtrack; fun battle system; good pacing, among other things. Bonus points if it has other great/fun systems (regarding game mechanics) and fun mini-games, or things to just let you blow off some steam and fatigue after hours of playing the main story.
Example: Breath of Fire III.

Fighter: Relatively balanced cast; fast paced (but not too fast); fun, exciting and over-the-top moves; great soundtrack; awesome characters; smooth controls; overpowered bosses.
Example: King of Fighters '98.

Platformer: Cleverly designed levels; cleverly programmed enemies; nice controls; great soundtrack (lol); innovative design; pleasing art style (graphics).
Example: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Notice how all share the soundtrack requirement. Though I don't mean that games have to reach all of these requirements, they can just have one or a few and I would play them. But if they do reach them all, good for them.

I really only like RPG's, FPS and some fighters.
