A list of my favorite games in no particular order:

Total War Series: The objective of this game is become the most power nation in the game, you achieve this through military, financial or shrew diplomatic means.

Diablo II: The objective of this game is to defeat the forces and hell and save the world from destruction.

Settlers of Catan: The objective of this game is to acquire 10 victory points before any other player. You achieve this by building villages & cities, gathering resources, building roads and raising armies.

Zombie Flux: The objective of this game is to be the player to who completes the current goal that changes and the game progressed.

Small World: The objective of this game is to collect money from provinces over the course of the game, at the end the richest person wins.

Pandemic: The objective of this game is to purge the world of various diseases and viruses.

Starcraft: The objective of this game at its most basic level is to defeat your opponent(s) on the field of battle.

Ticket to ride: The objective of this game is to collect the most victory points by building long railroads.

Civilization Series: The objective of this game is to rule the world through various means, whether by conquest, cultural or space race means.

So the first thing you will notice is I picked 13 games, in order for you to get a better picture of the type of games that I enjoy.

So what games do I enjoy, aside from breaking them down into real time strategy and role playing games, I tend to enjoy games that have epic goals like civilization and total war where games can take many weeks or months of time to complete. The strategy of these games really appeal to me. Of course I am a huge fan of real time strategy games, and I only listed two above, but really I have never met an real time strategy that I do not like. My favorite part of real time strategy is the story element, although I also enjoy the online competitive play. When it comes to liking role playing games I have more selective tastes, I prefer the more traditional older ones, than the new ones which try and do something new. The best ones are the ones that channel dungeons and dragons. Of course Minecraft gets it's own special category where I can basically do whatever I want, I prefer to play around with redstone and creating adventure maps. Nest we come to board games and card games. I am a huge fan of these types of games, the best times being playing them at my cottage with friends and family while enjoying some beer and the like. There are several categories that I like. There are the games where you have to collect victory points over a set period of time using various means, this appeals to me because I like the strategy and competition involved. There are also games like pandemic where the players are all competing against the system in order to obtained victory, the teamwork really appeals to me in this case. One of my favorite games is zombie flux where you are a human trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. The game is a funny more than a serious game, with lots of jokes hidden throughout the cards. Survive is another good game where you play as a group of survivors trying to escape the the destruction of Atlantis to the surrounding islands, you have to navigate the dangerous seas filled with sea monsters, whales and sharks.

That pretty much wraps up my favorite games and why I like them.
