most games today are sci-fi or fantasy based ?

Hey, thanks for the welcome Marya.

I used to only play strategy games, but then I found Morrowind a year ago, and since then it's been mostly RPGs. I will play the occasional FPS, but they usually bore me quickly from lacking a storyline. Maybe an online text based game or two as well(I own one).

A recent classic I dug up would be "Beyond Good and Evil". It's a platformer really, except it has one of the best stories I've ever heard in a game. Unfortunately it has been overlooked, and wasn't that big of a hit with the general masses.

I've heard tons of great things about Beyond Good and Evil. I tend to like adventure games. I only started gaming about 9 years ago and that was the first type of game I played (Myst was my first game). I've played a bit of Psychonauts but haven't tried an RPG yet. I tend to play them to relax so I'm a little wary of games with combat (although Dreamfall, a recent adventure game, had a little bit of combat that I handled pretty well). I'd like to branch out into other genres but haven't had a lot of time to game recently.
