Adventure games are the only real games. Though I play FPS, I really hate them. An adventure game is really equivalent to reading a book.

Also I think that in addition to all Lucas Art fantsatic old games, some like Deus Ex deserve some attention cos they are adventure games for the impression of freedom.
