Aside from adventure games, I tend to like anything where the plot is well-integrated to the gameplay, and anything that's interesting. This includes platform puzzlers, smart first-person shooters (Half-Life 2: Episode 2 would be a good example), and some RPGs. I love Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri for its world-building and willingness to engage with ideas.
I especially like genre-blending games and games that defy my expectations of what a game should be. Quest for Glory is the classic example of a good genre-blender, but Portal did it, too.
A generic 'genre game' isn't really of any interest to me. I played some Call of Duty with roommates and found it kind of tedious after a bit. On the other hand, the goofiness of Team Fortress 2 is really endearing.
