You know the deal. I'll list several video game categories for the year 2002 and you send your choices to my e-mail address: prancetron2000@yahoo.com .
Just copy and paste the categories onto your e-mail and write in your answers next to them. If you have questions about which games fall into which genres, etc., post them, right here. If you want to add more categories, post them in this forum before you vote. I'll post the results once I get enough votes in. The deadline will be, say, January 12th or around there. Voting begins this saturday.
And another thing, I'm not sure if I should add PC categories. What do you guys think?

Edit by DJ: Sorry OB1, but if you are going to rate all games, you can't exclude PC games. I added 3 more catagories, one for PC games.
Oh, and is Metroid Prime in first person? Do you shoot? Then, by sheer logic, it IS a first person shooter. Of course, with that logic then it's also an RPG, since you play a game in a role, but hey I'm just saying is all :D. Yes, I would call Metroid Prime an Adventure. However, unlike Miyamoto, when a game series has like 5 upgrades dedicated to jumping, including a jump move that is an actual attack, and when you do more jumping than fighting in the game, the Metroid series IS a jumping game series! I'm sorry, but it is. Metroid Prime is more shooty than jumpy, but that's fine because MP rocks anway. Okay, enough posting inside someone else's message.
