 +There are three types of games.  There is the story based, skill based, and the time waster type of game.
 +
 +For the story based game.  The story is the motivation to play the game.  The story is engaging and continues to drive the gamer to continue to play the game.  The gameplay in this type of game needs to be solid but not ground breaking.  it also has to be enjoyable but not overly challenging.
 +
 +For the skill based game.  This game type focuses solely on the challenge of playing the game.  The gameplay mechanic is paramount and has to continually push the gamer to get better at the core gameplay mechanic.  The story for this game is not as important.  But it should create some kind of continuity as to why we are playing/advancing through the game.
 +
 +Finally, there is the casual play type of game.  This game is easy on the mind.  The skill to play is not difficult and the story is enough to carry the gamer forward through the game.  The most important aspect of this game is to avoid boredom.  This type of game is probably the most difficult to create.  Because, the motivation behind such a game is to relax and take the gamers mind off the troubles in their lives.  This game has to relax them without making them board.
 +
 +On top of that, there is the genre itself.  RTS, RPG, FPS, and Sim etc, as mentioned above.
