Fighting (8 links)
Competitive fighting games (also known as beat 'em ups, particularly in the UK) emphasize one-on-one combat between two characters, one of whom may be computer controlled. These games are usually played by linking together long chains of button presses on the controller to use physical attacks to fight. Many of the movements employed by the characters are usually dramatic and occasionally physically impossible. Combat is almost always one-on-one, though there are some exceptions such as the Super Smash Bros. series or Guilty Gear Isuka, pitting up to four combatants in the fight at one time.

First Person Shooter (23 links)
First-person shooter video games, commonly known as FPSs, emphasize shooting and combat from the perspective of the character controlled by the player. This perspective is meant to give the player the feeling of "being there", and allows the player to focus on aiming. Most FPSs are very fast-paced and require quick reflexes on high difficulty levels.

Sports (22 links)
Sports games emulate the playing of traditional physical sports. Some emphasize actually playing the sport, while others emphasize the strategy behind the sport (such as Championship Manager). Others satirize the sport for comic effect (such as Arch Rivals). One of the best selling series in this genre is the Madden NFL series.

MMORPG (53 links)
Massively multiplayer online games (MMOs or MMOGs) are a category of game that may belong to any genre. A MMOG differs from games in its parent genre in the number of players that can be playing at once. They are persistent virtual worlds in which potentially thousands of players may interact together over the Internet. Most of these games are subscription-based, but recently some MMOGs have allowed players to purchase the game one time and play online with no monthly fees. A number of other MMOGs are free to download and play.
