With mainstream gaming and the EBGames-GameStop merger, I fear there is an unsung casualty--The Local Game Store. You know the place, it is small and out of the way, run by a game nerd, filled with... Typing of the Dead

I have decided to make a list of all gaming genres. I will not count combination genres (ex. Action-Platformer). Also as genres are created I will update the list and I will also include extinct... Game Genres
