Difficult question to answer generally it is very dependant on opinion so here is mine. Most people like certain genres such as RPG'S, First/Third Person Shooters, Beat em ups etc. As a rule I like RPG'S (a bit obvious I know!) first attraction was the first time I played FF7 and got into the first battle and my reply was WOW AWESOME! and my love for FF games started there. As for other games they are Res Evil Games (blood and gore is reason enough!), Doom (just a classic and dead hard on Ultra Violence great challenge), Tekken3-6 (need no explanation here), Metal Gear Solid (again no need for explanation) and finally Prince of Persia (again no need for explanation) and those are my particulars there are other odd title hera nd ther but as a rule I stick to the above games. The attraction I think is mainly 'The look' but if you have played a game and enjoyed it and they bring out a sequel you are then attracted by 'The Name' so it is very different for different people.
