Four genres of gaming

Theses are the four most played genres .

First-Person shooter- It is One of the biggest parts in gaming in North America. Outside of North America it's actually not so popular. The whole focus to it is seeing in a first person perspective and shooting at things. The games that started this where Wolfenstine and Doom, Both are great games if you don't mind the graphics.

Third person shooter- It's pretty much the same thing as the first person shooter but it is in a third person perspective instead.

Platformers- They can be in third person, First person, or 2-d. It involes puzzle solving, jumping around, and Climbing things. The basic 2-d ones tend to leave out puzzle solving and climbing but there still fun. The big game that most people would say made it popular was Mario.

RPG- PRG stands for role playing game which most people say invole story devolopment, Leveling charaters, and battle systems. Most games are 60-90 hours long and tend to have a lot of text. The game that actually started RPG was a board game called D&D.
