Hmmm. My favorite genre is by far the eastern-style RPG. I can't stand western-style PC RPGs, but I really love my japanese-style console RPGs (Seiken Densetsu games, Final Fantasy games, Xenogears, etc). That probably comes from my being primarily a console gamer for all my life. The only PC games that I play are adventures, which I also love.
There's only one other genre that could be considered one of my favorites, and only because it contains one of my favorite games. That genre would be the questionably named "action/adventure". They do seem somewhat like adventure games, in the exploration and depth of story, but they have a very different feel to them. Such games would be those like Beyond Good and Evil, Primal, and Ico.
