Why is zelda considered a RPG? It jst an adventure game where yo collect stuff. If Zelda: OoT is a RPG then why isnt Mario 64?

I was going to mention Starcraft, but I felt it would be unfair for Blizzard to have two genre defining video games.

Beat-em-up - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4: Turtles In Time
Who doesn't have fond memories of laying beatdowns on foot soldiers with their buddies backing them up, and fighting over who gets the pizza?
I loved that game very fond memories of at and now you make me want to dig up the old SNES and call a friend over to play it.

Halo - TFPS
Trainer FPS, it's very forgiving so 8 year olds can 'hone their skills with 20 shot kills.'

Fighting - Blazblue/ Guilty Gear
Shooter - Counterstrike: source
JRPG - Chrono Trigger
WRPG - Elder Scrolls series
ARPG - (soon to be) Resonance of Fate/ End of Eternity (here's hoping it's as good as it looks)
Stealth - Metal Gear Solid 1 (the others are terrible IMO)
Platformer - Super Mario World
RTS - Rise of Nations/ Thrones and Patriots (RON expansion)
MMO - apparently WOW.
RPS - borderlands/Fallout * is undecided, leaning towards BL*
sandbox/open world - the Saboteur *dislikes GTA*

anything I missed?

For RPG, I think KOTOR or Fallout is a better match then Morrowind.
true, morrowind is just too massive and is a free roam colossus

Kotor has the fuckin story with some decent gameplay on hard, while fallout has that good role play feeling and freedom and decent leveling system imo

OT:

racing: Mario Kart
fighting: Street fighter (any of them, preferrably II or IV)
Action Adventure: OoT
JRPG: Final Fantasy (obviously)
RTS: Starcraft
TBS: Pokemon (wanted to find a category for this)
MMO: WoW obviously
TPS: Socom (I or II)
RPS: Borderlands
MPS(multiplayer shooter):Halo
FPS: CoD Series
Platformer:Crash bandicoot (some of the best damn games i have ever played for the ps1)

FPS - Half Life 2 or COD 4, those 2 respresent different ends of the FPS spectrum.
RTS - Starcraft, but we mustn't forget the impact of original C&C.
RPG - Fallout 2, the freedom and variety of that game is massive.
RPS - Fallout 3, I may dislike the game, but no other games combines FPS and RPG elements as well. Without Fallout 3, the title would have gone to System Shock 2.
4X - Space empires IV, altough old, it's the only game that could challenge VGA Planets.
TBS - Steel Panthers, no explanations needed.
Multiplay FPS - CS:S, Altough there are others and many are in a way better than CS:S, it's still the game that pretty much defined the genre.
Stealth - Thief, no other game has made sneaking around as immersive as this has.
Racing - Dirt2, Simple and fun driving, enough variety to keep you interested. I might have selected Forza here, but they need to make PC version first, since I don't own any consoles.
Driving sim - RFactor, Live for speed is close, but RFactor is somewhat more appealing.
MMO - Not gonna go there. To select game to be perfect example of MMO's, that genre would have to be broken down into subgenres.

Command and Conquer? Why?

BTW, thanks for suggesting Fallout 3 to me, I got and it's fun so far :)
