Shooters are very interesting in terms of technology and character AI, and there's a lot to learn there. But as a gamer, I just can't see much fun in running amok. Maybe I have to talk to my therapist about this.

Jump'n'Runs are fun.
Have you played Trackmania? Perhaps a weird question, but I normally dislike racing games, and yet found this particular one to be immense fun in a building-tracks-is-amusing kind of way.

As for 'Jump'n'Runs', do you mean platform games? And if so, have you any idea why so few people imitate the expansive, free-roaming style of games such as Mario 64, and why the PC has so few of these type of games?
