Step 2
Pick a First-Person Shooter (FPS) if you like guns. This genre puts you in the shoes of the hero and allows you to view the world from their perspective. Typically, the stages consist of three-dimensional shooting galleries with varied levels of complexity.

Step 3
Pick a Role-Playing Game (RPG) if you like quests. Role-Playing Games are generally more sophisticated than FPS because the environments are more intricate and are highly interactive. Whether the theme is science fiction, fantasy or some other imaginative topic, the player is immersed in a fictional world rich with detail.

Pick a Sports Game if you like cheering fans and athletic competition. You may not sweat while sprinting toward the 20-yard line, but you’re sure to hear helmets cracking and bodies tumbling.

Pick a Simulation Game if you’re a control freak. The fascinating thing about these video games is that they place you in a position of ultimate power. Many allow you to create characters, direct armies, build cities and shape the course of your customized world.

Step 7
Pick a Strategy Game if you crave the thrill of outwitting your opponent. Most strategy games are military-oriented and base success upon tactical decisions including troop deployment, resource development and securing key positions on the battlefield.

Step 9
Build up your video game library. Many times, the “perfect video game” depends upon the mood of the player, which can change from day to day or even moment to moment. Some games are a blending of different genres, offering the “best of both worlds” to players with exotic tastes. Whatever the case, the perfect video game is usually the one that sharpens your skills and provides hours of fun.
