FPS	Fps is a first person shooter game in this you play as a character seeing through their eyes, all you can normally see from this view is their weapon and hands. This genre is normally fast pace and is highly played and popular, Highly played worldwide.	An example of a fps is cod call of duty, in call of duty you play as one person in a squad of people using a variety of weapons and you have a fairly large amount of enemy’s to kill before you complete a mission. Cod uses the id tech 3 engine.
RTS	A rts is a real time strategy game in this type of game you play as a general or a war leader as such and command a large force from a Arial view and move them to tactical passions to attack the opponent .	supreme commander 2 is a rts where you play as a command unit and you have to build your base and also your force to defeat your enemy you can build artillery which I personally like to do to demolish the foe from a range or build land units air or naval to attacking the forces can depend on map or how much room you have to build.
MMO	Mmo is a massive multiplayer online game this is a game where you can have hundreds of players on your screen at once and also have a massive open world with multiple locations	World of Warcraft is a mmo where you select a class and play it in a player vs environment situation when making your player you have a large choice in the race and the class of your player then after you have chosen at a certain level you have the choice of an advanced class for the player.
MMORPG	A mmo rpg is basically a mmo but with a role play element where you act as your character and make decision.	.An example of a mmorpg for me is swtor (star wars the old republic), in swtor you get the option to create a certain character out of 4 classes in each faction in this you get 2 extra classes in the prim class you chose which can make you more diverse to the other players and also give you a advantage in combat in pvp these characters can be used to rp ,pvp or  pve in the game making fun and quite entertaining
SANDBOX RPG	A sand box rpg is is a game where you create a situation and can create a new player and give them or it movement.	Gmod is an example of a sandbox rpg where you can have models of character and give them a position and give them life you can also create a new object putting multiple together and create a transport. Also in this game you have your own player which you can rp with and create with also to use the creations.
Survival horror	A survival horror is basically you have to survive a horror environment.	Slender is a good example of a survival horror in this game you play as from my opinion an overweight female looking for notes attached to trees and walls and other objects losing your breath every 3 seconds after finding the first note you start to get chased by a figure known by Germans as them wood cutter now known as the slender man because of his figure as he gets close your screen becomes static and a high pitch sounds starts to play , even when you complete this game slender gets you, giving you a fright this game has led to its own sequel of slender games.
MMOFPS	A mmofps is a mix between a mmo and a fps this is a good combination of shooting and with large groups .	An example of a mmofps is destiny in this game you are partly 3rd person but mostly 1st in this way your first person in combat and 3rd when you are back at the tower, in combat you can end up in 3rd person but only if you use some special ability’s, the combat is very good in this game and you are really pulled in by most of the story the end in my opinion and some others could be improved, destiny uses the in house engine.
STELTH GAME	A stealth game is a game where you are required to avoid the enemy and not be caught or seen.	Thief is a series of stealth video games in which the player takes the role of Garrett, a master thief in a fantasy/steampunk world resembling a cross between the Late Middle Ages and the Victorian era, with more advanced technologies interspersed
