                I'm going to assume Computer & Video games here.

                TBS: Heroes of Might & Magic II & III.
                RTS: Myth & Myth II.
                Action: Oh, a toughie. Though it's borderline, I'll say Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
                First person shooter: Unreal Tournament.
                Wargames: None of the ones I've played are good enough to merit a best of ranking.
                Adventure: Curse of Monkey Island.
                RPG: FFX, I suppose.
                Sports, Flight Sims, Driving/racing, Puzzle games: Abstain
                Kid games: Threads of Fate, 'cause it's suitable for kids but really for me.
                Adult games: Either this means "almost all games" or "porno games that suck." Neither category is good.
                All syllogisms have three parts.
                Therefore this is not a syllogism.

                  yeah I didn't specify computer games.

                  Feel free to add more categories if you wish. What is the greatest board game? Axis and Allies of course
