I'm pretty old school when it comes to games so...

SHOOTER: Stargate (my favorite game ever on a standalone machine), Defender (Atari), Twin Eagle (Standalone)
PUZZLE: Bejeweled (PC and Palm OS), Tetris (PC and Palm OS), Lines (Palm OS), Columns (PC)
WORD/TRIVIA: Scrabble (PC), Jeopardy (PC), Bookworm (Palm OS)

3 years ago, there was a great, addictive variation on Bejeweled (not by Popcap) that was a shockwave game on some advertising site (no idea what the product was). I'd love to DL and play it (alas, no luck on Google) but I think it was called something similar to "The Queen Game".

It was like Bejeweled, where you had to line up the jewels to make matching patterns. However, the jewels were arranged in a series of concentric circles, and you had to "turn the dial" clockwise or counter clockwise to make patterns. So satisfying!

I forgot to add my favorite puzzle game, which is Portal! I thought the story line was funny ecspecially at the end. I'm not usually a fan of puzzles, but this game makes it fun. I also like the futuristic type graphics.

Anyone else find that you play a game for 5 minutes to how long you think 5 minutes should be, only to find an hour or more has passed? You're left there thinking, "I was only playing for 5 minutes!!"

I'm just gonna copy and paste the original poster's genre list, but replace a few of the games with my own choices:

ACTION/ADVENTURE: Majora's Mask
STEALTH: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
SURVIVIAL HORROR: Silent Hill (the original; SH2 IS great but it's a bit overrated nowadays)
BEAT 'EM UP: Streets of Rage 2 or MadWorld
FIGHTING: Super Smash Bros. Brawl
PLATFORM: Super Mario World (I love the whole Mario series, but World just stands out the most)
SHOOTER: Goldeneye 007
SIMULATOR: SimCity (SNES version)
ROLE-PLAYING: The World Ends With You (one of the most unique RPGs I've played)
MUSIC: Rock Band (haven't played many so I just put the one I'm most familiar with)
PARTY: Wario Ware (the whole series)
PUZZLE: Tetris
RACING: Mario Kart Wii

EDIT: Just realized I forgot "racing."
