Knowing Your Game Is Half the Battle

But the other half? Understanding the genres.

To simplify, here’s a list:

1. MMORPGs
2. Puzzle Games
3. Hybrid Games
4. Sports Games
5. Shooter Games
6. Fighting Games
7. Platform Games
8. Simulation Games
9. Dance/Rhythm Games
10. Survival Horror Games
11. Action Adventure Games
12. Role Playing Games (RPGs)
13. Turn Based Strategy Games
14. Real Time Strategy (RTS) Games

This list is by no means exhaustive or strict.

Each genre can overlap and bleed into another.

The only limit is the imagination of the game developers.
